I’ve switched from Asti Spumanti Bellatore’(7.50 a bottle) to Martini and Rossi Asti(13.00 a bottle).
I’m trying to improve my life as best I fucking can. (hic)
GOOD CHOICE!
Your not as cheap a bastard as I thought you were! 
where’s mine?
I see the twice weekly requests for “Western Union” has improved your lifestyle!
Osip
You are a *role model[/], aha! Whatever your goal you damned well go after it.
For good, reasonably priced bubbly, try Hacienda. It isn’t one of the big advertised brands, but that you means you’re paying for good wine rather than an ad budget.
Keep on sippin’, friend!

Ooops. Screwed the italics. And I’ve only sipped half a glass of wine. (Firesteed pinot noir; 1997; Oregon. It’s pretty good; nothing great but hey, fine for sippin’ and postin’.
Veb
Veb I think I got drunk there one night. Yep however I am kinda drunk right now.
( sung to the tune of Old Black Magic )
That old rossi got me in a spin…
I can’t contend with the spin I am in…
That old rossi got me in a spell
I’m so drunk I can barely tell…
la la la and so on and fuck off. ahahhhaah
Not you veb… 
Alright aha, I have to tell you. After I posted to this thread i couldn’t take it any longer and I HAD to hear Western Union. The only reason I haven’t is that I have a crappy computer and only 1 gig that is full.
Well I deleted a bunch of stuff, then I had to download Napster… then WinAmp, then “Western Union”. At 33.6kbps this took awhile. FINALLY I was able to hear the song. Rockin fuckin tune! I’ve listened to it at least 4 times and digging it.
I realize I didn’t pay for it and feel bad… the checks in the mail however.
Aha, you have to be the winner of this year’s *Most Consecutive Mundane Posts That Continue To Inspire Mundaneness And Hypnotize Other Dopers To Call Their Local Oldies Station To Request Western Union. *
:::::dazed eyes::::Must Call Radio Station:::: "Hello? Yes, I’d like to request a song by The Five Americans…Oh, I don’t care, they are all GREAT SONGS! I want to make sure that someone I know in the virtual sense can continue living a lifestyle that he is comfortable in. Why yes, it is a dedication. Going to to Aha,…No not…the 80’s one hit wonder band…It’s to *The Most Mundane Poster Ever *…No, he’s not the Kitten hanging from the branch stating “Hang in there!”…What? Never mind. " Click.
Aha was definately NOT a one hit wonder! They had at least 6 or 7 top 10 hits in Europe. So there
Having said that, I would like to inform you all that I am drinking a very pleasant (and dirt cheap) “Los Molinos” (‘The Mills’) Valdepenas (Spain). All fine and dandy, but there is one thing: it doesn’t say what year it is! Nowhere on the bottle! Isn’t that weird??
Whammo you the mostest. Extremely groovy. Really gear.
Shirly girl get a grip hon.
Cloggy I want to confess something to you and the board ok and don’t think badly of me for it.
I went to the liquor store last night to get ballatore’. There were out. Martini and Rossi was my only other choice.
Sigh. I feel so cheap.
I’m sitting here sipping some pink wine that comes in one of those boxes. Franzia White Grenache, it’s called.
I want champagne, dammit. aha, I’m coming to your house.
