Looking forward to the whiskey-promotional tour now.

Brings back memories of when I was a connoisseur (or conasewer) of Boone's Farm Wine. Back around 1980, it used to be three bottles for $5 USD. Fruity flavor, great buzz and a jackhammer hangover headache. Pleased to find out it is still a bargain, three bottles for $8.97!!

Punk rockers in Columbus, Ohio, introduced me to the Mad Dog Margarita back in the mid 90s: one bottle MD + a large slushie = (as you said) a motherfucking jackhammer headache.

Not to be confused with the Mad Dog Margarita at the Chili Parlor bar, as referred to in Guy Clark's lovely "Dublin Blues":
"I wish I was in Austin/mmm-hmmm/In the Chili Parlor bar/Drinking Mad Dog margaritas and not wondering where you are."
Funny story about that here:

Country Kwencher and Apple Wine were the best.
$1.17. :)


Apparently it's malt-based now and not the same at all.

Brings back some memories for sure. Apple was always the first choice around my hometown. Country Kwencher or the Berry flavor, BUT NEVER the Strawberry !
