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.

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.
