It's a good tasting wine. I guess you are much too sophisticated for it.

...more like old age. After the 1970's I've gotten suspect of any wine that suggests it should be consumed "ice cold"...in that state it kinda makes it fly right past the tastebuds <with good reason> but, I guess, in the end it still does the job.

Thanks To JUL! How are things in NO AL? I lived in Gadsden, AL all my life until moving here in 2000.
 
For beachrunner, if from Atlanta, Total Wine. Huge selection and great prices. On everything. That's my my favorite stop going to the cabin.

Back in the day, my old boyrfriend bought me a bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry every weekend to drink in his candy apple red Dodge Challenger, since I didn't care for his Meisterbrau Beer :shock:

When I joined Facebook last year, there was a silly thing that you could use to send back-in-the-day "gifts." So I sent bottles of Boone's Farm Strawberry to some of my FB friends. I then realized that nobody in their 30s or even early 40s knew what Boone's Farm Strawberry was. That's when I decided my friends were too young for me.

Red Cat wine is an adults version of a soda substitute, nothing more, for when you're just having some pizza or fun food. I have realized after doing a lot of entertaining that there are a LOT of people, specifically my girlfriends, who don't like "good" wine. They want sweet and fruity, and they couldn't even pretend to like a nice Chianti. I used to think that was so unsophisticated, but then I realized, they just drink what tastes good to them. I can't make them like good wines, they're not open to it. So I've adapted when I'm with them, and find myself enjoying the time I'm spending with them, even if it's not an expensive or complicated cocktail. And I bring my own bottle of wine a LOT. :funn:
 
buy a case of oak leaf pinot grigio for 36 bucks, throw ice in the case, and tell everyone to grab their own bottle w/ pizza. cheap date!
