    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.

    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.

    Wine Royal – Two enter, none leave


    2012 - 12.13

    Wine Improves with Age... I improve with Wine! 

    You may have noticed that some of the rating terms have changed on some parts of the website. These are some of the new terms we will be using; we will be updating the rest of the site and changing the older articles to avoid confusion. Though if you need to compare to the old terms they can still be found on the about page. So please feel free to tell us what you like, hate, or would like to see in the comments or via email contactus@wednesdaywine.com and I will do my best to make something worth following.

    This week we will be reviewing one white and one red pitting them off in an epic battle. Two wines enter, only one wine leaves. Well that’s not really true. It’s more like two wines enter and two empty bottles leave.

    Happy Winesgiving!


    2012 - 11.27

     

    Happy Thanksgiving to you, my lovely little winos, I mean connoisseurs of wines of all verities both in taste and quantity!
     

    Welcome again to our quest to discover the best wine for the best price you can. Tonight was very special because tomorrow is thanksgiving, though Gina sadly was not able to make it we did have plenty of guests and tried a plethora of wines mostly Reds (this was not a shrewd attempt at tongue and cheek racism). With all our guests and the happy go lucky triviality I made a mistake, sorry it happens on the few of the wines I missed Bridget’s opinion. She was there I just failed to pick up on this fact until it was too late. So my apologies to you the reader I’ll make up for it with a few extra humorous quips.

     
    Question: What did the grape say when it got stepped on?
    Answer: Nothing – but it let out a little whine.

    Question: What’s a Scottsdale girl’s favorite wine?
    Answer: ‘Daddy! can I go to Cabo!’

    Hopefully I have won back your hearts and minds. I have? Good deal, then let get a move on. So many wines, so little time let’s get a move on.

    A threesome in three ways.


    2012 - 11.14

    Funny Flirting Ecard: I thought joking about a threesome might lead to not joking about a threesome. 

    Sadly this week both Gina and Chad where unable to be attend Wine Night. This is the first wine night Chad has ever missed and it was for a very important reason. Gina and Chad you were both missed, though in true wine night style the show must go on, so Bridget, Dante, and Thaddeus soldiered though and had their threesome for the night. I believe this was the first ever wine night for the where the guy to girl ratio favored the guys; I guess it was Bridget’s lucky night being surrounded by a couple sexy beasts.

    We will be presenting you with three wines tonight and one is a Moscato from Ménage à Trois cause three is our magic number. We also have a California Red Blend from Devil May Care, as well as a Pinot Noir from Asti Winery called Cellar No 8. So pull up a glass and relax because we’re diving in.
