That's two of my three favorite topics of discussion. The third being a toss up between bbq, and women as gorgeous as Mila Kunis.We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.

I'll bring some sour beers -- a fine pairing option I learned from a couple friends...and maybe some whiskey.

I'm not very knowledgeable about beers but it seems to me that it really depends on the specific dishes. What I'm learning is that sour beers not only stand up well to the bold, spicy flavors of Thai food but they also complement it nicely. At the meal to which I linked above, the Liefmans Goudenband, Petrus Aged Pale, Abbaye e Saint Bon-Chien, Geuze Mariage Parfait and Breury Marron Acidifie (this one is quite rare, I'm told) were all stand-outs for me.

Post #17 - July 10th, 2011, 10:58 amIn the same vein, I like tart wines with Thai food, especially New Zealand sauvignon blanc.Think Yiddish, Dress British - Advice of Evil Ronnie to me.

Post #18 - July 11th, 2011, 2:19 pmI think we have eight confirmed. Let me know if you haven't already.i used to milk cows

Post #19 - July 12th, 2011, 5:27 amI'm pretty much a definite - not sure if you counted me as a "confirmed"or not. Are we calling to warn them / set something up?We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.

Post #20 - July 12th, 2011, 6:46 amI'll call them to give them a heads up. There are about 9 confirmed, I think. Maybe Vital has some plans for ordering since this was his idea.i used to milk cows

Post #21 - July 13th, 2011, 9:41 amAnything beside beer that I could pick up? Or the more beer the better?
I am an alcohol pairing neophyte

Post #22 - July 13th, 2011, 10:23 amBring anything. I have a suspicion there will be a lot more booze than will be needed.

Post #28 - July 14th, 2011, 1:40 pmHI,
I'm surprised nobody is bringing a Riesling or a Gewürztraminer, both I have heard paired well with Thai food.

I'm bummed. About a week ago, Walgreens had Domaine Chandon for $9. I knew I should have bought then. I went for tonight & none.
I'll bring some hard stuff, which goes well with Thai.Think Yiddish, Dress British - Advice of Evil Ronnie to me.
