    Merry Christmas from Wednesday Wine Night


    2012 - 12.19

    Pouring a glass of wine. 

    Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house

    Every bottle was empty, the wine soon would run out.

    The reviewers where all drinking with care,

    In hopes that more wine soon would be there.

     

    Bridget and Dante sipped on their Reds,

    While visions of Merlot’s danced in their heads.

    And Chad in her ‘kerchief, and Thad in his cap,

    Had just finished their wine and though, “oh crap.”

     

    When out of the blue Hollie caused such a clatter,

    Dante jumped to his feet to see what’s the matter.

    Away to the door he flew like a flash,

    Torn open the screen because he was smashed.

     

    The front yard was dressed in a Christmas glow,

    with lights and figures that put on a show.

    When what to his wondering eyes should appear,

    But wonderful Gina, holding wine up to here.

     

    With the little old cork-screw, so lively and quick,

    Thad pulled out a cork and gave it a lick.

    More rapid than rivers, he filled up the cups,

    And he whistled and shouted as he drank the wine up!

     

    Try, Pinot! Try, Syrah! Try Merlot and Malbec!

    Drink, Reisling! Drink, Moscato! Drink Whites and Reds!

    From the top of the glass, to the bottom of the bottle,

    tasted them, taste them, taste them all!

     

    We spoke not word but when right to work,

    trying each one with each of their quarks.

    Rating them all the good and the odd,

    taking each opinion with one little nod.

     

    We smiled and laughed all through the night,

    talking and joking we were such a sight.

    You could hear us exclaimed, as we finished the white,

    “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a happy wine night!”

       

    Only six days until Christmas folks and our last wine night before the holiday. We have three wines for you to read about tonight two reds and one white. These all come to us from Califoria, I guess it’s our attempt to hold to the last of the warm weather. Though it was anything but warm tonight in pheonix. So realize we froze ourselves just for one.

    Someone just had their box cherry popped.


    2012 - 09.05

    I've started drinking boxed wine because I feel better about only taking one box to the recycling bin instead of 3 bottles.

    Being as we have been so classy lately, using real wine glasses and rarely drinking from screw top bottles. We decided it was time to go a little bit down home and break into the box stuff. Yeah we can be that kinda classy too.

    We had a first this week, Thaddeus had never had wine from a box before. So we popped his cherry with a fine Heritage Chardonnay by Almaden Vineyards. I’m sure he feels like a new woman now or at least wasn’t completely disappointed with his first time. Anyway along with our box of Heritage Chardonnay we also had a box of Burgundy California Table Wine by Peter Vella Vineyards and together the boxes said it would be around 13 normal bottles of wine, so you know they’ve gotta be good. Honestly we came into this week not expecting much. I mean what are you suppose to expect from a $12 box of wine?
