<0> i thought you said "why aren't"
<0> a lot of people want bush dead
<0> it was rather prudent to keep the list of people in the know as small as possible
<1> how many 70mL bottles of muscat would i need for 10 people?
<2> 20
<0> one million
<2> so what is it?
<0> let's split the difference
<0> 499,990
<2> heh
<1> i'm thinking 3 bottles
<0> 70ml isn't very much
<2> yeah
<0> that's like a sip
<2> thats nothing
<0> a decent-size sip, but a sip nevertheless
<1> hrmm
<1> you're right
<2> a liter, thats something
<0> if you mean 750ml that's a different story
<2> no, a liter is 1000ml
<0> but wine generally doesn't come in 1l bottles
<0> 750ml is the standard size for spirits
<1> not the kind that's drinkable anyways
<2> nope, a bit over a liter
<0> if you say so
<2> or is it under?
<0> the ones in my wine rack that all say 750ml are lying to me then
<1> sorry, i think they're claiming the bottle is 70mm in diameter
<2> maybe 750ml, it all depends on the size you buy
<1> even though it's about 60mm in diameter
<1> it's 375mL
<2> roycroft: right, but there are 1.4 liter choices
<1> wettoast good wine?
<2> 375 is your avergage pop drink
<1> good wine, comes in a box, by the gallon
<2> eucalre: any wine
<2> wolf bl*** makes great wine
<1> wettoast i'm starting to think you have no idea what muscat is
<2> and they have a selection of volume
<1> go wikipedia it
<0> the dessert wines in my cup board are 375ml
<0> cupboard
<1> so
<1> back to the original q
<0> but those are outrageously expensive
<1> how many bottles would i need
<0> and consumed in small quantities
<2> eucalre
<2> Muscat, Oman, the capital of Oman, a country which was known as Muscat and Oman from 1856 to 1970
<0> to complement a meal, 3-4 bottles
<2> <g>
<0> to make them happy, 5-6 bottles
<0> if you're going to tell them stories, 10-15 bottles
<1> this is a pretty good muscat, from australia, about $12/bottle
<2> so its a species of grapes
<0> a variety, not a species
<2> not sure if i tried it
<1> it's a desert wine
<2> which wines?
<1> muscat
<2> juts "muscat" ?
<2> err, just
<0> if you're going to sing, at least 20 bottles
<1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscat_grape
<0> so i guess the number of bottles all depends on you
<1> there read, then you can be an irc expert
<2> Muscat grapes are grown around the world in Romania, Italy, France, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Australia, California, Hungary, Canada and other places.
<2> wide selection
<2> roycroft: indeed
<1> wettoast muscat is about 18% alcohol, compare that to your gal of wine
<2> an irc expert? lol...
<2> and here i thought the topic of discussion was wine...
<2> eucalre: i shall try it the next time im buying wine
<1> i think 2 bottles of merlot for dinner
<2> for 4 guests...
<1> 10
<1> plus beer
<2> ten???
<0> two bottles of wine for ten people?
<0> are you nuts?
<2> ok, is it just me or does "united states" and "wine" just not fit in to one sentance?
<0> it's just you
<0> some of the finest wines in the world are made in the us
<2> haha
<1> california actually
<2> no ****, which one?
<0> and there's a heck of a lot of people in this country who know and enjoy wine
<2> news to me...
<0> i count california as part of the us eucalre
<1> wettoast several california vinyards beat french wines in a french wine judging competition
<0> and i know you're not making a claim that california wines are the only good wines in this country
<1> roycroft i'm not much of a wine person
<2> so you guys are saying that california makes the great usa wines...
<0> there are outstanding wines made in several regions of the us
<0> oregon has the best pinots made in this country
<2> eucalre: beer? vodka?
<2> rubbing alcohol? :P
<0> washington has some outstanding german white varietals - riesling, mller thurgau, etc.
<2> **** the germans
<0> when i think of california wines i think of the zinfandels which are unlike any found anywhere else in the world, the cabs, chards, chablis
<0> merlot is crap no matter where it's made
<3> "I am NOT drinking any merlot"
<0> i found "sideways" pretentious and pretty unreal (although extremely funny) but i do agree about merlots
<1> wettoast http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/may2001/nf2001058_228.htm
<2> to be honest, i've never drank many USA wines, mostly australian, french, and ontario....
<2> also forgot, chille
<2> err, chile
<0> chilean grape are still heavily sprayed and the industry is still run by effectively slave labour
<1> wines from chile aren't up to par yet
<0> i avoid them
<2> really?
<0> in fact, i don't drink many foreign wines when we have so many outstanding ones right here
<0> i do admit to getting spanish wines when it's fiesta time though
<2> so what is a really good national wine then?
<0> what do you mean?
<2> australian wines are nice too...
<2> i mean, what is the top quality wnational wine?
<0> eucalre: what are you serving at this festivity?
<2> national
<0> we have no "national wine"
<1> roycroft haven't formalized the menu yet
<2> i really like wolf bl***
<0> eucalre: i suggest you finish your menu before making wine choices
<2> and we have some excellent local ice wines
<2> that being Canada
<0> do you know what the entree is going to be at least
<0> ?
<1> but leaning towards bruschetta for appetizers, veg lasagna, garlic bread, romaine lettuce/gorgenzola cheese/strawberry vinegrete salad
<1> and creme bruelee
<1> bleh, ray tal is on the radio, time to turn it off
<2> sounds like a vegans delight
<0> i'd serve port with creme brulee
<2> and thats a meal?
<1> wettoast all of us are hindu, some of the guests are veggies
<0> and with a veggie lasagne i'd serve a nice spicy, peppery cabernet sauvignon or zinfandel
<1> plus meat isn't allowed in my house
<0> that is, if you're going to be using a marinara sauce
<0> a merlot would get totally lost
<1> ya, marinara sauce
<1> damn it,
<1> already bought the merlot too
<0> pasta with marinara needs a bold wine
<2> reallty? everyone is hindu? well, i love your butter chicken, naan, chilli chicken, amd spinach
<0> if you don't want one of your good cali wines a decent chianti or valpolicella would be good
<0> but i don't see any reason to buy a foreign wine when we have such good domestic stuff
<1> well i already bought 3 bottles of merlot, from a non-returnable source
<2> seriously, roycroft and eucalre is hindu?
<1> wettoast i am, roycroft is not
