    Clos but not Clos enough


    2013 - 02.27

    Wine o'clock. 

    Welcome back my cheap wine aficionados or winos if you want to be a dick about it. Once again we have reached a Wednesday and the world still exists. Way to go world! That means time to crack open a bottle or two for us and time for you to be jealous of us. This week we decided to try a Chardonnay by Clos Du Bois the same company whose Dry Rose we tried in Nothing wrong with a few friends having a Ménage à Trois. That wine received, “A flaccid 3”, an ominous foreshadowing, maybe. Guess you will have to read to find out.

    Home Sweet Riesling


    2013 - 02.20

    They should put more wine in the bottle... so there's enough for two people. 

    It’s a cold rainy Wednesday Wine Night in Phoenix, which is odd, because it rarely rains in phoenix and it’s even stranger for it to be cold. Though when you get a group of friends together and open a few bottles of wine, it doesn’t seem some cold and the rain seems to wash away the troubles of the day. Life always feels just a little simpler when you have friends to share it with.

    What’s a Ménage à Trois with 4 people?


    2013 - 02.06

    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy wine! And that's kinda the same thing. 

    As I’m sure you’ve noticed we’ve had a lot of Ménage à Trois’s at Wine night some where very popular and everyone was happy to have a repeat of those, other’s where awkward and left a weird taste in our mouths. So even though not all of our Ménage à Trois’s have been a success everyone is down when it’s suggested we have another one. Would it be a Ménage à Quatre since there where four of us? Either way this time we had a Chardonnay.

    Something special about this wine, I can’t quite put my thumb on it.


    2013 - 01.30

    I'm having a fruit salad for dinner. Well it's mostly grapes actually. OK, all grapes. Fermented grapes. I'm having wine for dinner. 

    It’s been very rainy in Phoenix lately which is a rarity in the desert. Though the rain in Spain may fall mainly on the plain, the rain Phoenix falls mainly in small 5-10 minute spells but somehow still on floods the roads. A little change in weather is always nice in a place where the only weather we have it hot, hotter, and clothing should be optional. With the changing weather we had a little change of our own, an organic wine. Over all we lack the ability to care if our wine was produced in a field that used pesticides, see as alcohol itself is a poison a delicious, delicious poison. So this week we were being organically poisoned, yay health.

    Moscato in Winter


    2013 - 01.09

    Gentleman with wine. 

    In the cold January winter we have broken out the portable fire to stay warm and to add a little ambiance to go with our wine. Tonight we have a rose for you; this is the first rose we have rated for you in a while so I hope we both disappoint.
