I’m adding a new feature to the review this week, so will be looking for ways to make the reviews more interesting to you the reader. So please feel free to tell us what you like, hate, or would like to see in the comments or via email contactus@wednesdaywine.com and I will do my best to make something worth following.
Hello again my lovely little lushs, we’re glad you’ve decided to join we again. What a wine night we have for you. Three little wines rated by all five of our lovely people. Yes that is correct tonight was the first night in almost two months that everyone of us where able to make it.

Yesterday was the presidential election. Not going to spout any political opinions I’m tired of them and I’m sure you are too. Just thought it would be nice to record what we were drinking the night after the election. That my friends will be all the politics you will be finding here.
Welcome once again to another exciting edition of Wednesday Wine Night, I know your excited to get to the reviews, first thought I would give you a little Halloween recap. We didn’t dress-up for Halloween night but we did all dress-up over the weekend. See we still have our childlike spirit! Bridget was a Garden Fairy (she was just precious). Dante was half-business and half-country (you won’t find that in the stores.) Gina was a classy lady from the 50’s (she tends to be the classy one.) Chad was dirty sheriff (I’ll let you figure that one out.) Thaddeus was Chris Farley as a Chippendales (we think he may secretly have a collection of stripper costumes in his closet.) We all enjoyed our Halloween weekend, I hope you did too.
This week we tried one that was already popular with a few of us a Rose from New Age, and also guess what a Shiraz by Fat Bastard which was the first wine that was suggested to us in the comments on Getting down on the farm. Now I am going to warn you that it wasn’t to popular, but please suggest others in the comments or by email contactus@wednesdaywine.com.

To the reader who requested Fat Bastard Shiraz, we are working on getting it. I looked for it at Total Wine, but were out of it when I went in. I will continue to work on finding it, and we will try it once I do. Just not this week, sorry.
Wine night is more than just trying new things each week for us. It’s about friends getting together to talk about the good times, the bad times, and the memories. It gives us a chance to really gain a better understanding of one another. We each have our own very distinct tastes and opinions on most issues. I believe this is why our little group works so well together, we all bring our own brand of insanity to the table.
Anyway this weeks wines where a nice mix, a little bit of something for everyone. We had a nicely sweet Moscato and a red blend by Apothic to celebrate the Halloween season. We also tried mixing the two and found it to be a nice combo wine. We didn’t rate the combo, maybe that should be a new feature? Each week we also mix the wines we try to see what mixes well. What do you think? Tell us in the comments.

This week we had a few guests join us on this weeks wine adventure, Miss Deborah and her crew. They let us in on a little secret we hadn’t heard before. Apparently some of the 99 cent stores have misprint wines for sale, so you could get some quality bottles for one heck of a deal. We will be investigating this further.
So this week we broke our streak, of high rated wines, oh well when you pick your wines the way we do you’re bound to miss once in awhile. We did have a good mix and and everyone had at least one that they liked, just nothing we all agreed on.

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.
