$5.99 From Trader Joe's.Shall I say $5.99 from Trader Joe's on Super Bowl Sunday. (Go Pittsburgh!). Yep, stood in line 20 mins for this wine. Stood behind some jack ass who decided that 30 mins before kick off on Super Bowl Sunday was the right time to return the box of granola bars he had purchased earlier.
It's times like this the East Coast ire tends to rise up.
I am practicing being a loving, giving, patient person. In Portland it's ususally easy, there are moments though, like today, being a Steelers fan stuck in line at Trader Joe's. desperate to get home to watch the kick off with a purchase of cheap red wine. Getting stuck behind "let's return granola bars" man. There was no swearing, no punching in the face. Though had I still been living in Hoboken in might have ended differently.
I digress.
Bright, fun nose. Cherries Cherries Cherries! The drinking companion argued. "Strawberry". I told him after I write this I would google it and see what the consensus was. Er. Cherries.
This is light and fruity. Cherries and smoke. It's a blend, but I am unsure of what it is. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Syrah, Merlot maybe? Whatever it's worth the $5.99. Granola man or not.
Steelers !!!

I dig your blog. I know you have chimed in on mine once or twice...
You have a great approach to the recession, I am in!!
Listen, I am kind of working on a wine and food related video idea, trying to demystify the world of wine a bit, make fun of pretentious people and get some free swag in the process...hit me back of you are interested in chatting a bit, I think your concept would fit as one of the regular features really nicely...
Thanks for drinking the bad stuff for me...

They're still selling it. I just bought a bottle ($4.99 here) and it's quite good for the price. I'd even say it's quite good at twice the price.
