    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.

    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.

    Sparkling Raspberry Cupcake


    2012 - 09.12

    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy wine and that's pretty much the same thing.

    In the last few months Wednesday Wine Night has become very popular in our social group. Everyone wants in; I mean it is justifiable midweek drinking who wouldn’t want in? So it’s not uncommon for someone who not a regular to join us, this was the first week in a while that it was just our standard cast and crew which made it nice and chill, sort of a Wine Night Classic.

    This Week on Wednesday Wine Night, the group sampled a Sparkling Raspberry from Weibel Vineyards. Then they decided why stop now and tried a Chardonnay called Cupcake by Central Coast and that’s not all, they washed down the Cupcake with a malt beverage (it didn’t call itself wine on the bottle but it tasted enough like wine for us, so it counts) Verdi Spumante.

    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?
