Yesterday was the presidential election. Not going to spout any political opinions I’m tired of them and I’m sure you are too. Just thought it would be nice to record what we were drinking the night after the election. That my friends will be all the politics you will be finding here.
Welcome once again to another exciting edition of Wednesday Wine Night, I know your excited to get to the reviews, first thought I would give you a little Halloween recap. We didn’t dress-up for Halloween night but we did all dress-up over the weekend. See we still have our childlike spirit! Bridget was a Garden Fairy (she was just precious). Dante was half-business and half-country (you won’t find that in the stores.) Gina was a classy lady from the 50’s (she tends to be the classy one.) Chad was dirty sheriff (I’ll let you figure that one out.) Thaddeus was Chris Farley as a Chippendales (we think he may secretly have a collection of stripper costumes in his closet.) We all enjoyed our Halloween weekend, I hope you did too.
This week we tried one that was already popular with a few of us a Rose from New Age, and also guess what a Shiraz by Fat Bastard which was the first wine that was suggested to us in the comments on Getting down on the farm. Now I am going to warn you that it wasn’t to popular, but please suggest others in the comments or by email contactus@wednesdaywine.com.

Happy Halloween everyone from all of us at Wednesday Wine Night!
It’s our first holiday wine night and it special one indeed. We have a total four wines to review for you. Two of which you have probably seen on the wine list before you lushes. Those wines were only rated by a few of us so we brought them back so everyone could give them a try. Don’t feel slighted though because this isn’t just a rerun episode, we have new wines for you too. So set back with a glass of your own and your shopping list cause we’re about to tell you what to buy.

To the reader who requested Fat Bastard Shiraz, we are working on getting it. I looked for it at Total Wine, but were out of it when I went in. I will continue to work on finding it, and we will try it once I do. Just not this week, sorry.
Wine night is more than just trying new things each week for us. It’s about friends getting together to talk about the good times, the bad times, and the memories. It gives us a chance to really gain a better understanding of one another. We each have our own very distinct tastes and opinions on most issues. I believe this is why our little group works so well together, we all bring our own brand of insanity to the table.
Anyway this weeks wines where a nice mix, a little bit of something for everyone. We had a nicely sweet Moscato and a red blend by Apothic to celebrate the Halloween season. We also tried mixing the two and found it to be a nice combo wine. We didn’t rate the combo, maybe that should be a new feature? Each week we also mix the wines we try to see what mixes well. What do you think? Tell us in the comments.

Welcome to Wednesday Wine Night. We have a quality selection for you to read about this time, cause we are taking the wino thing to a new level of awesome. Please hold your applause until we are finished. Sadly Gina was not feeling well and was unable to attend this week, we were sad but persevered. The Wine Night must go on. If you would like to drink along with us we wouldn’t discourage it(Wednesday Wine Night does not condone the underage use of alcohol). Okay now hold on to your glasses boy’s and girl’s this should be fun.
We like to keep a good balance here at Wine Night as we have some people who prefer Reds and some who prefer Whites, and a few who just like to look at the bottom of their glass. We use very nice glasses. We had both Red and White wine this week and we may have mixed them a little. Our Red was called Eye Candy which just happened to also have been my nickname in high school. Our white was a nice little sparkling number called, “Gran Spumante”. It was a decent matchup this week we were a happy group.

This week we had a few guests join us on this weeks wine adventure, Miss Deborah and her crew. They let us in on a little secret we hadn’t heard before. Apparently some of the 99 cent stores have misprint wines for sale, so you could get some quality bottles for one heck of a deal. We will be investigating this further.
So this week we broke our streak, of high rated wines, oh well when you pick your wines the way we do you’re bound to miss once in awhile. We did have a good mix and and everyone had at least one that they liked, just nothing we all agreed on.
