What a blast from the past! Thanks, Metaxa. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I first tried grappa with an Sicilian professor who taught my film studies class. I sipped it, according to his instructions, but didn't like it much. An acquired taste, I'm sure. Personally, I'm a Canadian whiskey lover, from way back. Also fond of Cognac during the winter months. In warmer weather, I get into Corona beer with a lime wedge - especially when I'm eating Mexican food -or Sam Adams Boston Lager. For parties, I love mohitos. <p></p><i></i>
