Sonadora · December 2009

And watcha drinking?

I just popped open a Pinot Noir from the Santa Rita Hills.

I wish but I started new crazy pills so I can't. I'm going to be drinking Haagen Daaz, Vanilla Bean, 2009 vintage with a touch of chocolate fudge.

triple_sevens · December 2009

I'm about to head to the wine store now (it's across the street--love city living). I'm picking up a Greco di Tufo for go with my pasta.

ColindaP · December 2009

Boo, I can't, Have to go pick up the in-laws at the airport at 9:30. Shouldn't do that drunk. Bah. Humbug.

I hear 2009 is an excellent year for ice cream.

I think living across the street from a wine store would be the end of me. Then again, I do have 500 bottles in my basement, lol.

If you weren't driving, I'd say a few drinks would make it way less painful.

I would be drinking but I O tomorrow..(fingers crossed) I make my own peach wine drink thing... lol

ENJOY Big Smile

I am taking it easy since I am approaching the end of the 2ww. I had a glass of wine at our holiday lunch today and I'll have a little more on NYE...or A LOT more if AFshows by then.

maritzburggirl · December 2009

pinot noir from South Africa-it is definitely making my cleaning go better!

BAM_2780 · December 2009

Hi Sonadora! I can always count on you for a good wine post. I aspire to have 500 bottles in my basement, but I'd seriously never get that far unless I bought them all at once

I'm eating dark chocolate truffles w/o wine as I test tomorrow. My consolation prize for AF's arrival will be a bottle of Blackstone Reserve Syrah on NYE. I'm not sure what DH will get as I'll take the whole bottle.

Oh, for sure it'd be less painful. But DH and I both have to go, b/c 6 people + a carseat (of course!) won't fit in my Civic nor in DH's Ranger.

BAM_2780 · December 2009

Sonadora - are you in any wine clubs? We're building up a collection but don't want to drink it as Tuesday-night wine. But I'd like to get a bunch of inexpensive wine to keep on hand for casual drinking ($10-$15/bottle). I saw the Wall Street Journal has a club where you get a case for under $100. I can't remember the price. I'm thinking of trying it hoping the bottles will be drinkable even if they are not amazing. Any thoughts?

Totally makes sense. Here's to no drinking for 9+ months for you!

I really hope your H can enjoy it on his own then!

Have you not Trader Joe's wherever you live?

They are drinkable, but really mass produced given the number of subscribers they have.

May I suggest this: https://www.wineaccess.com/store/winesf/newsletter.html?newsletter_id=122543

Woohoo!

So it looks like it's you, me, and triple_sevens tonight!

Cheers!

BAM_2780 · December 2009

Thanks. I hope my hubby does get to drink it, but I am preparing a consolation prize, sad as it is.

Is TJ's wine that good? We have one in CT near me, but CT has stupid liquor laws and you can sell beer but no wine in grocery stores. We have package stores (packies as in - packie run if you are 22 or under) that sell beer, wine and liquor and grocery stores beer. Nothing at CVS, gas stations, etc.

If you tell me the TJ's wine is that good, maybe I'll go to Mass and buy a case. It would be about an hour drive there but it might be a fun day trip. Is it the 2-buck chuck that you like? Do they make more than one kind?

Oh, and to answer your original question, yes, I belong to 8 wine clubs at last count.

ColindaP · December 2009

No, no, no, I don't like 2-buck chuck. But TJ's gets pretty decent wines for cheap. They're good for every day maintenance wines. Hello, my name is Colinda P and I am a lush.

I favor Chilean, Argentine and Australian wines b/c they're more bang for your buck. Well, ok, and I because I really like big ballsy cabs, syrahs, shirazes.

Sonadora · December 2009

2 buck Chuck is really yucky. And outside of CA it's more like 5 buck Chuck. Not worth it.

The link I posted above is great. They offer a mixed case every month for right around $100.

I bet your basement is better stocked than Triple's liquor store!

Hehehe. Depends on if you really like Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley and Petite Sirah. That would be the vast majority of what I have down there, with a good dose of Cab Sauv, Grenache, Syrah, and some other random reds mixed in.

BAM_2780 · December 2009

Sonadora - thanks. I'll check out the link. I need to see what shipping would be to CT.

Colinda - I'm with you on the up-and coming deep reds! Mmmmm. That with dark chocolate truffles would be great. I'll just take the chocolate for now though.

triple_sevens · December 2009

Just uncorked my Verdicchio (went w. that rather than the Greco). Thinking of you, Sonadora, I'm drinking and cooking.

(oh--and rj--I agree, no drinking for you for 9 more months).

In the 2ww, so I'm drinking water, but am having tons of Gadzooks Ice Cream

Is that the Preston & Steve ice cream? What's in it?

BeachCole · December 2009

I'm on Corona with lime #5. DH and I have been having a college flashback week, and he's out getting pizza right now to go with the beers. It's been fun :-) Though nights like this in college at least ended with some bow-chicka-wow-wow. But that's a no no until after my appt. Thursday. Bummer.

Mrs.Kristen · December 2009

our neighbor made us cochino (sp?) aka homemade puerto rican eggnog so hitting that a little earlier then new years tonight

62207bride · December 2009

::Raises Hand:: A nice big 'ol glass of Shiraz in my hand right now. Lately every time I get on this board and PG Loss I have a glass of wine in my hand and end up a little sad. Here's to hoping that none of us will be drinking too much wine for too much longer... to an amazing 2010!!
