Wednesday Wine Night

I really want to say that we were in very clever mood when we purchased this week’s wines, but we weren’t it was just an awesome happenstance that we ended up with a farm theme wines. This week we tried “Pink Truck”, a rose wine from California with a little something for both boys and girls; a truck for the boys and it pink for the girls or if you think I’m being sexist strike that and reverse it. Our second choice for the night was “Tarquino” from Argentina whose bottle looked like a cow, which yes is the reason we chose it. Everyone knows the look of the bottle and how much we like the name plays an integral part in our decision making process and we like cows.

Red Truck Wines – Pink Truck

What country girl or boy wouldn’t want a pink truck or whole bottle of it, ah see what I did there. Pink Truck is a pink wine by Red Truck Wines. I’m not sure what a pink wine is but it tasted like a rose or a blush, so if you don’t know either I’d suggest thinking of it like that. Bridget, Dante, and Chad all felt “they’d get drunk on this.” Gina was quite smitten with this one; she gave it a straight up, “the Bomb Diggity” and said, “I’ll drink this for breakfast.” Not a bad breakfast choice, no judging now. Thaddeus wasn’t quite on “the bomb diggity” level, but he would “drink this all week.” Rose’s, Blush’s, or Pink’s seems to be the safe bet with our little group; they’re usually the ones we agree on.

Argento Wine Company – Tarquino

This Malbec from Argentina called Tarquino, or as I will lovingly refer to it for the rest of the article as the cow wine. Not because it tastes like a cow that would be odd, and I don’t know if I would be willing to try a wine discribed to me as, “tastes like a cow”. I will call it the cow wine because the bottle looked like a cow and there’s the big reveal! Oh, wait I already told you that didn’t I, darn. Anyway the cow wines bottle was more popular than the wine itself. Bridget thought it was, “Like drinking bong water.” Dante and Thaddeus where in agreeance that it, “Tastes like shit” and Thaddeus went on to say, “It’s kinda dry”, riveting words Thaddeus. Gina was not a fan of this one; she would “like to rinse my mouth out with Battery Acid now.” Chad would drink this, “If there’s nothing else.” Though she did say, “I like the bottle, it looks like a cow.”

So I guess we’ll continue the search for the cool bottle that also tastes good. It will be tough forcing ourselves to try all those wines, but we do it for you the reader, because we’re attention whores.
