    Certainly has my vote and "The Pub" sounds great.

    Anything to keep the troops happy! I'll also go along with "The Pub" - although I drink neither beer nor whisky (I keep the latter for medicinal purposes only;)). Now, if anyone's talking of decent red wines, then that's a different matter - as are Gin & Tonics!!

    It looks like this has already been implemented, but I will add my vote!

    And Ham, I love a good Merlot. I usually drink whites for casual drinking, but love to find a good, dusky dry Merlot for special occasions.

    I am a 'red' man myself, Rob. Whites are for quaffing at picnics in very hot weather (an alternative to iced water!!). Yes, I'll agree that a nice Merlot takes some beating (but why wait for a special occasion? ;)).

    Red wines? Well when I hiked through Tuscany I fell in love with Super-Tuscan wines from the Sienese Chianti Classico region and for white wines, the Vernaccia from outside San Gimignano. The best part of that hiking tour was being able to go through a lot of wineries and see the process of how they pick the grapes, strip them from the stem (which they use to make grappa), and then process them for wine.

    I think the Pub will be a great name for it. I've a funny feeling this will prove to be a very popular section.

    Well I hate to throw a kink in the gears, but that won't be happening on this particular website. It isnt b/c I have a problem with alcohol and it isnt b/c I dont want it here. There just isnt room for it here.

    So here is my plan. I would be willing to start an entirely new website dedicated to the flavorful (flavourful for our UK friends...) spirits which we love to enjoy. It costs just around $90 for a vBulletin license and a domain name. I will host it. Would those in favor be willing to donate to get the vBulletin license? If 12 people donate $8 we could do it. Those who donate will be given special titles and privledges on the new website.

    If you like the sound of this I will set up a donation button through paypal.
    Beannacht Dé,
