Nice wine

This must be good.......



Has anyone else drunk "mineral-related" wine?

Cheers,

Harjo

Domaine Saint Hilaire --- Mont Saint Hilaire ?
After two bottles Domaine Saint Hilaire it looks all the same Harjo .

Not sure about mineral related ones, but I do recall having a wine once named "Vampire, the wine that bites back"!
Talk about truth in advertising there.....

I still have several bottles of "agate ale" from the World of Agates show in Wisconsin a few years back. Kept them as a collector's item, but they've been around a while and I wouldn't dare drink them now! They also had a special root beer there, but I forget what it was called...

Here is one for Copper Queen Whiskey that I found at an estate sale in Apache Junction, AZ. I was asked to help disperse a collection rich in minerals and mining antiques and jumped at the chance to get this old porcelain jug with this label and I assumed it was associated with the Copper Queen mine in Bisbee. I noticed the Calumet, Michigan portion on the label and have found out very, very little about this particular whiskey produced by N.R. Bianchi of Calumet, MI. Anyway, it is a permanent part of my decor in my mineral room.

Here's a Danish beer I picked up a couple of days ago, on a short trip to North Jylland - didn't go to the small island Fur where the beer was brewed, and where you can collect fossils and even a few minerals. In my collection I have opalized diatoms and natrojarosite. But what does this have to do with volcanoes? Well, in the sedimentary layers there are distinct darker volcanic ash layers from the "Skagerak volcanoes", having regular eruptions during early Tertiary period Eocene (ca 55 million years ago).

Surely there are brews or vintages out there using the terms "Gold" or "Silver." (In fact, I have a bottle of "Silver Tequila" in my liquor cabinet right now!)

But hopefully not "Aresnic," "Thallium," or "Uranium."

Austrian "Smaragd Wein" (= Emerald wine)



Or how about a glass of Quartz wine?

Pala wine

I can remember drinking an Australian wine called "Porphry Pearl" a few years back

Hello,

I don't have a photo, but how about Rolling Rock Beer!

In Idar-Oberstein in 2006 we stayed at the "Amethyst Hotel". There was a large amethyst geode in the hallway (1.5 - 2m?) and we had bottle of wine with a label that had a picture of the geode and "Amethyst" on the label.

Hey guys!

What shall the people in whole world think about us mineralcollectors - that we drink the whole day wine?

No! If on some days vodka is a too hard drink for us, we are drinking also beer.

A local beer brewn for the official presentation of the Mosasaurus "Prognatodon saturator", nicknamed Bèr, the second Mosasaurus found in the Netherlands, near Maastricht. I just hope that the French will not steal this one too

Fabulous, Mario! I'd love to get saturated on that stuff.

This was exactly the answers I had been looking for. Astounding blog. Incredibly inspirational! The posts are so interesting and also detailed. The links you provide are also very beneficial as well. Thanks a lot
