Available here in South Florida, there's a rum produced in Haïti known as Rhum Barbancourt. Anyone else here familiar with that rum brand?
Here's the crazy part: I don't even drink! Ever! Yet here we are.
I'm jamaican/haitian. We do rum. Barbancourt is nice.
Which wine do you enjoy? If red; Have you tried high fats with the any reds?
My favorite is a little silly but I love Icewine. I like Rieslings and Merlot as well. If expensive ass icewine is unavailable, then a moscato would be great for the sweet tooth.
Which wine do I enjoy? Read the last line of my previous post.
I know Jamaicans make solid rum. I'm on a personal mission to collect Caribbean rum, Eastern/Northern European vodka, and European/Israeli/American wine. I'll have my own cellar eventually.
Intersting. How come you decided to collect those alcohols if you don't drink? Also, do you work at/own a vineyard or are you just interested in owning a cellar?
@KingDavid If you enjoy red wine you should try Refosco if it's avaliable where you live. I have no idea what they are called in English, but Jurka, Gamaj, Klinton and Šmarnica are all great choices too - but I doubt you can get them anywhere outside of Balkans/Central Europe.
If you are a wine enthusiast, you really should come visit Slovenia. It seems like half the country makes wine; everything from red or white to black and from dry to sweet and syrupy texture. It's also quite strong compared to most other European wines.
