> a Vinho Verde from Portugal called Gazela. Lightly sparkling, clean, crisp, super-refreshing… I can seriously drink this stuff by the pint. Can’t give it a high enough rating- and it is cheap like borsht!! Go get some and drink it ice cold!

I’m loving the Vinho Verde lately too. Local wine shop just got in a bottle they’re selling for $8, it’s only 10% alcohol, and, like you, I could drink it by the pint. Vinho Verde is made for hot, sunny days.

> I do it with a ratio of 75% vanilla ice cream and 25% chocolate (ish). Of course YMMV, but that produces more of a hint of chocolate then an overwhelming taste, and allows the Baileys and Kahlua to stand out more. And I am also a fan of adding a ton of ice so it’s thicker and I have to use a straw. ;p

The wife is funny about vanilla ice cream. She simply won’t eat it if she has any choice in the matter at all and will complain if it’s part of, say, a set dish that can’t be substituted. She’s a compleat chocoholic.
