I might have a tuesday night problem :D

After another stressful Tuesday night that even a 4 mile run couldn't sooth Mike came by for a glass of wine. He stumbled on a sale at the Eastway Liqueurs by his house (no, i have no idea how to spell the name...) Two for ONE! Whoot! The first bottle we pulled out was a very tasty, lightly dry Shiraz Cabernet blend that we'd never heard of. This bottle was definitely better than the last rosemount i've tried. With a light fruity flavor, but nicely dry, this was a good nightcap, even though we couldn't persuade my roommate to change the channel (for fu*ks sake, i hate dance moms). Mike would give this wine 3.5 out of 5 for taste, and at 4.99 at half off, originally 11, i'd give it a 3.5 for value, 2 regularly, if it were 11. Its a good way to round out an evening, and I'm glad for it! Hurray antioxidants! Although, I hear i can get those in junk food now, too... more on that later after i've done my nutrition research. Good evening to all!

If only we were still in Venice...

Just another chill evening (over a week ago) sipping on whatever white wine is left in the fridge. If only I were still in Venice enjoying my wine with some delicious Italian food! Or on a beach somewhere, which i would take even without the wine.... Spring break is on its way!
So... back to wine... this approximately 6 dollar bottle was a great find by Patrick until I tried some after drinking my favorite wine ever, when i noticed its over dry taste, and unbalanced flavor. While it is drinkable, Rosemount Pinot Grigio is not on my must buy list.
As a side note, the other writers and I have been discussing a rating system for our wines. Since we are trying such a variety of types of wines and possibly other drinks, as well as bottles of differing values, it might take a little while. In regards to this wine, using an untested rating system, out of 5 (1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest) I would give it a 2.5 for flavor, and a 3 for value. It wouldn't be bad paired with food, but I'll take something else for sipping next time.
