I actually like this - its a compatible flavor with most white wine and only very slightly fizzy/sweet. I wouldn't want to do it with a fine expensive wine, but when I'm drinking two buck chuck from Trader Joe's it's a nice way to extend the glass and not pay later for drinking too much crappy alcohol. Especially handy if you tend to swill your wine (as I do) instead of sip it. My mom does this with wine, but uses tonic water instead, at about 50/50 portions.

I think they shoot you if you add cream or sugar to it. Wholesales for a mere $80/lb. Or more reasonably as it sounds like you'll be visiting the Bay Area, the place to learn about good coffees is Blue Bottle in SF.

I'm off coffee altogether, so I'm out on the tasting angle. I'll take my decaf flavoured coffee candy, thanks very much. Congrats! I’m off coffee altogether, so I’m out on the tasting angle.
