Toasted you are the one into ashtrays, right? Look what I got today!! I was just so thrilled...(doesnt take much )
When I was a teenager Mateus was 'the cool' wine to be drinking. - I remember it got you drunk real fast without realizing it, and I usually wound up getting sick from drinking it! haha!
I also got a dog ashtray [a dog or a bull? where the mouth is the sit piece and the smoke comes out its nostrils?? - I think it may be mccoy pottery or one of them - looks like it! Have to look around about it.)
I will probably just want to admire it for a few days, then I will list it if youre interested. [not trying to solicit you, just saying if you do like it].
Anybody else drink this wine alot back in the 70ties?? okay, its no two-buck chuck jack...lol!!

Roads, I guess it goes to show when teenagers are told something is cool, then its cool - no matter what, ya know? I think I preferred the sangria but Matuse was "it" with the crowd or something! lol.

Lancers! Thunderbird! Ah, it brings back redolent memories.
I've told this before but. . . . when I was learning to cook in the 60s, as a new bride, I had Sunset recipes that called for red wine. Coming from teetotaling ministers' families, both of us, we didn't drink - then. (Made up for it later on!) I had no clue and was working with a very small food budget. So I checked out the grocery store counters in Berkeley and bought - tadaaaa - Gallo Ripple. I cooked with that junk for about 5 years before we both got wise.

Ripple!! Now you're bringing back memories. Red Foxx's favorite cocktail was Coke and Ripple. He called it a cripple.

What about Gallo's "Spanada"? Think we got the 1/2 gallon jugs. And before that, sloe gin and orange juice....talk about sick! Older and oh, so much wiser now! (yeah, right!)

Well...I don't need to be "toasted" to think that's cool! We put candles in the wine bottles after we emptied them. Class up a place with little/no money!
We drank alot of Boone's Farm before we moved up to grain punch in college. I no longer drink sloe gin, thanks to getting really sick once.

Hey Toasted! That is a cool novelty ashtray, too!! Thanks about the smoker. I looked them up on ebay. One I have just closed @ 5.99 no bids! lol!! Maybe they do better in winter or something? Anyway ya win some, lose some with gs finds, right?
Was so tired last night. I went GS hopping from like 9 to 430!! Now I gotta get my butt in gear and start listing!!.....
Lucy, I would like to try the two-buck chuck. Not that I've looked, but I bet they dont carry it down here on the southern east coast. I dont really drink just no desire for it and shopping is enough of a bad habit! but every once in a while its nice to relax with a good drink. I am going to see if its around down here. You guys talk about it so much - must be somen'in to it!
