Looking for tweets for pisco.
reesetee Thanks, yarb. Looking forward to the report.
Grappa--yum! Nov 9, 2007
yarb The Chileans I'm working with think that Chile won the right to most things in the war of the Pacific, but even they admit (to me) that Pisco is probably more Peruvian than Chilean.
I'm quite partial to grappa late at night or after a big dinner. Nov 9, 2007
john I neither drink nor live in Chile any longer, but I used to do both, and a good pisco sour is delightful. Straight pisco I'm not so fond of--it tastes like grappa.
I always thought Chile won the right claim pisco as its own when it kicked the asses of both Peru and Bolivia in the War of the Pacific. Nov 9, 2007
yarb I have so far only drunk pisco in pisco sours (piscos sour?). I plan to rectify this very soon though by consuming it neat and will let you know, rt. Nov 9, 2007
peregrina Yes, the potent pisco sour, known to make individuals forget their marital status, or name, or how to breathe..depending on how many one drinks. Doesn't take many so be careful! Nov 9, 2007
reesetee Ooh. What's it like? Nov 9, 2007
