First off, apologies to all the Trevors, but we had to pick a name, so we went with Trevor. Or Chase. It could easily be Chase. Would Hunter like to join us? Sup bro? What shall we do this evening, with our hipster, trend piece, easily marketed to, Instagram-American selves? Well, why don't we drink a really disgusting wine, which marketing executives and professional trendsetters have been trying to rebrand as something OTHER than "it is TOO different from white zinfandel, because it is French, which makes it CLASSY, even though it kind of tastes like mouth herpes"? Anyway,
One time, I had been in Korea on a business trip for ten days or so. One of my Korean colleagues had a father-in-law who was pretty well-off, and he took us on a little sightseeing tour of Seoul. At one point, we stopped for a drink at a hotel (forget which), and they had Heineken on the drinks menu. I was jonesing for hops by this point, so I ordered one. Raised that good old green bottle to my lips, and...no fucking hops at all.
Looking more closely at the bottle: "Brewed in Korea by OB".
Ice wine is infinitely superior. Stick to ice wine.
Just wish I didn't need to start a GoFundMe every time I wanted to buy a bottle of the REALLY good stuff.

One more incentive and the Studebaker's road-tripping to Atlantic Canada!
Recently, I have been persuaded to try a couple of "dry Rosés", and was surprised to find them not awful.
I still prefer wine, though.
Many years ago, I was on a business trip to deepest Indiana, and had dinner at the Holiday Inn at which I was staying. (Don't ask).
I asked about wine, and was told that they had white wine and red wine. Since I ordered a steak, I asked for a glass of the red.
The waitress brought me white zinfandel.
As long as they stay away from bitters.
Monte is some good stuff.
"Fuck you" is the new...
Oh, wait.
Fucking OB.

You can go back to the 60's and note the same effect from Ripple.
Sorry. Been there, done that, will not repeat.
I grew up in Milwaukee, in the 50's and 60's. Pabst was generally considered the best local beer.
