So this week we decided to throw caution to the wind and have ourselves a little Ménage à Trois and we all seemed to like it. So I guess we learned a little bit more about ourselves today.
I hope you didn’t mistake my use of the name of one of this week’s wines with anything else called, “Ménage à Trois”. You didn’t good, cause this week we tried out “Ménage à Trois Rose” and “Clos Du Bois” (don’t ask me how to pronounce that I haven’t a clue), both of which were rose’s. You could say we were in a rosy mood, but don’t.
Ménage à Trois – Rose
I was a little surprised on the result of this one, we have tried several different wine over the past few months and this is one of the only ones that we all liked. It was sweet but not too sweet and a nice mix of both red and white. The odd thing is we all agreed that this was a solid, “I’d drink this all week”. Each of us have had wines we liked better but I this is the first time we have all rated one so high, and the first time we have all rated it the same (except “Dune Buggy”, but that was because we hit the bottom of the rating scale. Which in my mind means Dune Buggy doesn’t count). So if you like a rose of a blush, go have yourself a “Ménage à Trois.”
Bridget – I’d drink this all week
Dante – I’d drink this all week
Gina – I’d drink this all week
Chad – I’d drink this all week
Thaddeus – I’d drink this all week
Clos Du Bois – Rose
After our wonderful “Ménage à Trois” experience I was really hoping we would end up following it with something just as great. Alas they cannot all be winners. “Clos Du Bois” was slightly fruity with a really strange and somewhat bitter after taste. Of the five of us only Chad actually liked it rating it, “I’d get drunk on this.” Dante, Gina, and Thaddeus all agreed that it was closer to a, “Like drinking bong water.” While Bridget gave it a, “Tastes like shit.” So even with Chads “I’d get drunk on this” the rabal of the group put the average in the “If there’s nothing else” range.
Bridget – Tastes like shit
Dante – Like drinking bong water
Gina – Like drinking bong water
Chad – I’d drink this all week
Thaddeus – Like drinking bong water
