Bridget’s sister is moving out of town so she some of the rest of their family where invited to join us for wine night. So we got the opportunity to here about Bridget life growing up.
I am so glad this isn’t a video show, because then you would know how poor my pronunciations are. I look and the type on one of this week’s wines and all I could say is, “no, no not even going to try.” So the only way I could advise to request this at your local liquor store is open this site on your phone point to Niederösterreich and say, “I want this.” You could do that or you could just ask for Gruber Veltliner by Grooner but what fun is that. If you don’t trust names you can’t read then you could get our other wine of the week Petite Sirah Vintner Blend by Ravens Wood, I knew how to say all of those words.
Ravens Wood – Petite Sirah Vintner Blend
Petite Sirah Vintner Blend, was our first wine of the night. What qualify a Sirah as petite? Well you see, I’m not a winologist (that’s a technical term) so I haven’t a clue, but it didn’t look or taste especially short and thin so I don’t think it’s that. Anyway this Petite Sirah by Raven Wood
was one that is for the lovers of reds, Dante, Gina and Thaddeus all rated it “Like drinking Bong Water”. Though Chad thought it was “The bomb diggity” and seeing as she is an avid lover of the Red’s this would only make since. Chad must have been tasting something in it that Bridget did not as Bridget another lover of red’s put it as a “If there’s nothing else”. So overall not a new top pick for the group, but Chad found something she would drink again.
Bridget – If there’s nothing else
Dante – Like drinking bong water
Gina – Like drinking bong water
Chad – The bomb diggity
Thaddeus – Like drinking bong water
Grooner – Gruber Veltliner
Gruber Ventliner which as I said before is a Niederösterreich (thank you copy paste), which we discovered is a fancy Austrian word for white wine or after having drank it declared it was, I forget which. Either way we weren’t really for it or against it for the most part. Bridget and Dante where both impartial on it, they felt it deserved the “If there’s nothing else” they gave it. Chad add this to her, “Like drinking bong water” list, since she coined the phrase sometimes I think she rates things this just so she can say it. Thaddeus was the only one who liked it but it will never be a regular thing for him but he thought, “I’d get drunk on this.” Gina on the other hand was quite adamant that this wine was disgusting and she would have no more part in the consumption of it. She was have none of it’s lip, she gave it a straight up, “I’d like to rinse my mouth out with Battery Acid now.”
Bridget – If there’s nothing else
Dante – If there’s nothing else
Gina – I’d like to rinse my mouth out with Battery Acid now
Chad – Like drinking bong water
Thaddeus – I’d get drunk on this
