Yeah, a $28 wine. It kinda goes against what I try to do on this blog (affordable daily wine for college students), but it was for a special occasion. I also happened to drink these two back-to-back, starting with the Rombauer. It made the first sip of the Meridian taste like rubbing alcohol... but after a few more sips I realized it wasn't too bad. It didn't help that the Rombauer was cooled and the Meridian was room temperature... more on that later.
Bevmo had a wine sale (buy one get one for 5 cents), but I didn't buy any wines on sale because you have to buy two of the same ones. :[ I did, however, score 4 new wines: a Merlot, Pinot Noir, a Cabernet Sauvignon (that one looked really tasty from the description...) and a Viognier. You can also see the empty Rombauer bottle peeking into the picture on the right side. For the time being, I have to study study study for a test (tomorrow) and a midterm (on Monday, right after I get back...).
I should really join some sort of wine blog network to improve my current readership from the current ~6 to a short term goal of ~20 readers...
I'll be back on Monday with some shiny new blog posts! :]
28 bucks?! You wealthy SOB. Yeah, join a wine circle... do it!
ReplyDeletelol b/c you are my friend I will keep reading this blog. and also b/c one day i may turn away from my jim beam back to wines. someday >.>
ReplyDeleteand yes, the 28$ wine is very uncharacteristic of college wine drinking. Remember when that store above best buy and ralphs was having a closeout sale and we bought those cheap fruity wines? delicious lol
