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.

We’ve decided to post the reviews one week after we rate them so these entries will always be on Wednesday’s as would only be proper seeing as this is Wednesday Wine Night. Also with all the drinking it’s best if we don’t release them right away if you want more than a bunch of drunken babel, which might make an excellent video but not a review site. So that’s why we didn’t have a review last week, now on to the main show.
We tried not one, not two, but three wines this week. Aren’t we just moving right along with our classiness? This week’s wines where, “Domaine STE Michelle“ a sparkling white, “Red Jam” a red blend and “Buscado Blanco” a white blend.

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.
