Sum Poosie, either by itself or with some vodka thrown in.
I love that stuff. Too bad no one around here will sell it anymore. 
If you have access to it, I highly suggest it; name and suggestive females aside, it’s really good tasting. And I’m sorry, I think pinup girls are awsome, the definition of how sexy a woman can be, and each bottle comes with one.

At home, red wine. Mostly cabernet, although I’ll throw in a pinot noir every now and again just to keep things crazy.
In a bar, vodka. Grey Goose on the rocks if I’m feeling lavish, otherwise a mid-range vodka and tonic or a well vodka and cranberry juice. But always vodka.
I’m a sweet fan. Most of what I like isn’t available at most bars: a good hard cider, a mead, a not-corn syrup sweetened white zinfandel. I like a fruity sweet Riesling; while Rieslings seem to be faddish nowadays, most of what I’m getting served now is dry psuedo-Cabernet ick. I mean, seriously - a *dry *Riesling? What’s the point in that? It’s like decaf coffee! 
Still love strawberry daqueris, amaretto and cokes, rum ‘n’ cokes, jack ‘n’ cokes, whiskey stone sours, tequila sunrise - I’m so '80s.
Then again, I love Guiness as well, and it’s the more age-appropriate choice these days!
Callaway is a Temecula wine; maybe they don’t sell it up your way.
Usually tea or tapwater = the water is really nice here, only an idiot would buy bottled water regularly, and my usual tea is very strong - Tetleys in a mug with a splash of milk (semi-skimmed, natch). I’m fond of a Twinings Chai at bedtime. My experiments in proper Chai have been mixed.
Beer = I’ve got quite simple tastes here, Guinness Extra Cold, John Smiths or Belhaven Best. Occasionally I’ll have a draught Staropramen or Urquell.
Spirits = I like all the iodine malts.
Wine = Chassagne Montrachet, for preference, but I like most robust wines from wherever. I’m happy to have a cheap Penfolds or whatever with pasta or curry, although the house lager really does go much better with spicy food.
Coffee = love the smell, hate the taste.
For beer, a good pale ale. Something hoppy and coppery-amber colored that you can’t see through. Or a Guinness.
For wine, usually a California charonnay.
A buttery taste is often the result of Malo-lactic fermentation, which turns malic acid (acidic tasting) into lactic acid (butter/caramel tasting). It seems to be used most with northern/cooler climate wines.
Holy Smoke Peat Ale from Church Key Brewery, otherwise frozen vodka, three olives, please.
Tea.
Darjeeling.
Hot.
Too much sugar.
I never touch the sauce.

Hands down favorite mixed drink - Bacardi Limon and Coke.
Not a big beer drinker, but nothing sweet or dark when it comes to beer. A simple Bud Light would do.
When it comes to wine, anything red and not bitter.
Beer - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (now on tap 24/7 in our garage, woot!), and occasionally the local brewpub - Pliny the Elder or Blind Pig
Wine - Ha. There aren’t many wines I don’t like. If I were forced to choose favorites, maybe something like this:
Red - Bordeaux-style Blends/Meritage, Zinfandel, Cab Sauv
White - I tend to like the more aromatic whites like Sauv Blanc, Torrontes, Reisling and Gewurzt.
Sparkling/Champagne - Probably my absolute favorite style, I tend to go for the slighty sweeter styles of Extra Dry or Sec. I’ll open a bottle about once a week.
Fortified and/or dessert wines - I love just about all of them, especially botrytised or late harvest whites.
Usual drink is bourbon & Coke. Generally Jim Beam, because it’s available basically everywhere and inexpensive. I’ll take Beam Black when it’s available. Now and then I’ll order Maker’s Mark, for a change. I’ll also drink bourbon on the rocks (without the Coke) from time to time. As a guest in someone’s home, if the only bourbon they have is Jack Daniels, I’m okay with that. But bourbon is my standard adult beverage, in one form or another. And a shot of Jaegermeister on the side is highly regarded as well. (None of the Jaeger mixed things that seem so popular with youngsters on their birthday, thanks; just a shot glass of the stuff, properly chilled.)
On cold days, I like a good Irish Coffee (Bushmills & coffee, maybe with a bit of cream; not the bizarre notion a lot of young bartenders seem to have of “Irish Coffee” involving Bailey’s or creme de menthe or something – hey, junior, just because the stuff is green doesn’t make it an Irish Coffee).
Once in awhile I’ll have a Manhattan (C.C., straight up, two cherries).
Also on cold wintry days, brandy can be good. Or a glass of Burgundy.
I very rarely drink beer, but once or twice a year I might have a Black & Tan (Guinness and Bass Ale).
Drink of choice for me has to be bourbon, neat. Basil Hayden, Woodridge Reserve or Baker’s.
Beer- Bass, Newcastle, Killian’s Red
Wine- Riojas, tempranillos, shiraz, and pinot noirs from the northwest.
Tequila has to be good 100% agave anejos, Herradura or Patron. Sip, don’t shoot.
ack, Woodford, nort Woodridge, jeez. pour me another.
Wine-Merlot or shiraz
Hard Liquor-Patrón or Barbancourt
Mixed-Margarita on the rocks w/ salt for hard partying, Malibu and Pineapple for sipping.
Midori Sours
Blow job shots
Anything else is ordered by color and is hopefully suited for my childish palate. I try to stick to “something pink and frozen with whipped cream” because my last, “I’ll have something blue” venture landed me a giant glass of what I’m pretty sure was Everclear and Windex. Blech!
Although I’m decidedly not a fan of wine, I will drink Gewurztraminer if it’s available.
Beer: Beamish, which I find much better than Guinness, but a lot harder to find on tap here in the States.
Oh, yeah. They’re lethal. And so, so good. Two of them (they’re pretty good-sized in the restaurant that serves them around here) will usually have me seeing the pink elephants in short order.
Guinness and champagne!
Just kidding. Although, that doesn’t sound too bad…
Favorite beer: Spaten. I’m really liking their Oktoberfest right now, but really any of them are good. Ooo, or Red Stripe. Yum.
Favorite mixed drink: Possible a hot rum toddy, but it’s just too damn hot to drink those here, so I’ll say my disgusting home concoction of dark rum, ginger ale and goldschlager. Yeah, I know it sounds gross, but it doesn’t taste bad at all to my mouth!
I’m really kind of hoping that my taste buds will mature as I grow older. Is 21 too late to hope for that?
