    Getting Unruly with a mix of red’s and a white.


    2012 - 09.26

    I like this wine. It only took four bottles to make you charming.

    This week we were short the presents of the lovely Miss. Gina, as she was traveling the world. Well not so much the world but the east coast of the good old US of A. The rest of us held to our weekly duties of consuming and reviewing this weeks wines and a special week it was usually we review 2 or sometimes 3 wines, not this week though. We ramped it up to a whopping 4 wines this week, 1 white and 3 reds.

    Someone just had their box cherry popped.

    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?
