Welcome once again to another addition of Wednesday Wine Night, where we make excuses to drink in the middle of the week and you get a little bit jealous of us. That’s right we know and we don’t blame you, we’re a little bit jealous of ourselves all the other days of the week.
Lately we have been having really been picking some good wines and tonight is no exception. A little spoiler, not a single one was undrinkable, and no one spit either of them out. It’s fun to variety so we went with one Red named Sweet Red Reel and one white called Sweet Moscato. Yes both wines where sweet, just like us (you know you where thinking it too.)

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.

I really want to say that we were in very clever mood when we purchased this week’s wines, but we weren’t it was just an awesome happenstance that we ended up with a farm theme wines. This week we tried “Pink Truck”, a rose wine from California with a little something for both boys and girls; a truck for the boys and it pink for the girls or if you think I’m being sexist strike that and reverse it. Our second choice for the night was “Tarquino” from Argentina whose bottle looked like a cow, which yes is the reason we chose it. Everyone knows the look of the bottle and how much we like the name plays an integral part in our decision making process and we like cows.

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.

Bridget’s sister is moving out of town so she some of the rest of their family where invited to join us for wine night. So we got the opportunity to here about Bridget life growing up.
I am so glad this isn’t a video show, because then you would know how poor my pronunciations are. I look and the type on one of this week’s wines and all I could say is, “no, no not even going to try.” So the only way I could advise to request this at your local liquor store is open this site on your phone point to Niederösterreich and say, “I want this.” You could do that or you could just ask for Gruber Veltliner by Grooner but what fun is that. If you don’t trust names you can’t read then you could get our other wine of the week Petite Sirah Vintner Blend by Ravens Wood, I knew how to say all of those words.
