    Getting Unruly with a mix of red’s and a white.


    2012 - 09.26

    I like this wine. It only took four bottles to make you charming.

    This week we were short the presents of the lovely Miss. Gina, as she was traveling the world. Well not so much the world but the east coast of the good old US of A. The rest of us held to our weekly duties of consuming and reviewing this weeks wines and a special week it was usually we review 2 or sometimes 3 wines, not this week though. We ramped it up to a whopping 4 wines this week, 1 white and 3 reds.

    Pillar and Castle


    2012 - 08.02

    This week was a popular one we ended up having 8 people show up for wine night. It is quickly becoming the place to be on a Wednesday night. We tried “Pillar Box Red” from Australia and “Castle Rock” from California.

     

    Henry’s Drive Vignerons – Pillar Box Red

    The pillar box was a red blend which Dante, Chad, and Bridget are usually big fans of, though this one didn’t make their palates cut. Chad went so far as to say the Pillar Box tasted like plastic. Bridget was right there with Chad give it a fairly low rating of “Tastes like shit”. Thaddeus thought the bite it had at the end killed the fact that it started off sweet for a red. Dante put the nails in the coffin sealing the fate of this poor bottle, rating it “Like drinking bong water”. Though we’ve had much worse and it will get you drunk at 14.5%, overall no one liked it. It’s not likely one we will try again.
