Someone gave me a bottle Charles Shaw cabernet as a gift. You know, the 'Two Buck Chuck' they sell at Trader Joe's. I never tried it so I popped it and poured a glass. I took one sip and poured the contents of the glass and the rest of the bottle down the drain. If you're going to give shit wine as a gift, even as a token gift, pony up for YellowTail or something that is at least palatable.
End of transmission.

next year or for channukawk, go to the dollar store and find some food items. Those make great gifts!

Good idea. Let's see how much they enjoy a tin of smoked krill, producto de Portugal.

Wine in a bag
uhhhwuhhuh
You're right, nothing says I hate you like a 5 buck bottle of wine, except for maybe a bag of wine that says I really fucking hate you.

I prefer a nice glass of robert shaw port, the manliest of wines.

pew, ick. I tired CS once, and threw it out,
Glen Ellen or Rabbit Ridge are both petty good, and under $10.

You can get perfectly fine wine under $10. Turning Leaf is a good example.
|
ghostrider 12-23-2006, 02:58 pm
Come to think of it, Turning Leaf might be in the 12-14 dollar range, but since I have what passes as a wine cellar, I buy what I like by the case. I always ask for, and always receive a nice jew discount when buying per case.

Well if it's good cheap wine you are after go check out the frenchies! Christian Molleux [I can't recall spelling] is about 7-8$, Austrailians the entire line of Alice Whites are nicer than any of that american swill you guys have noted... Chilean reds usually go around 8-9$ tops, and they have some superior tempranillo and great deals. The Italians have the market on pinot grigio it seems and the Spanish can pull off a tasty malbec or crianza.
All under 10$.

Hah hah, Charles Shaw. They practically give that shit away here. The TJs sells that shit for $10 a case. Never drank it, never will.

Yesterday, while I was stocking up on booze for the holidays, I over heard someone ask one of the clerks where the Riunite was.
|
ghostrider 12-23-2006, 10:05 pm
Riunite on ice, that's nice.

I like teh charles shaw red. It's the cs white I can't stand. Man, a case of CS red is a pretty good candlemas present, as far as I'm concerned.

Little-known fact: Ghostrider appeared in '70s Lovecraftian horror film The Dunwich Horror.
That is all.

If i ever received ANY wine as a gift, I would throw it away, or re-gift it.

| Sexual Asspussy | This is awesome.
This is the first pornsite I've found in years that I'd actually advertise to swarmers. When you first load it up, it looks just like every crappy scam site out there, except that it's real. It's huge, it's updated constantly, there's no spam, no popups, and no bullshit -- and it's completely free. When you sign up through that link above and respond to the confirmation email, I make a bit of loose change.
See what other swarmers have to say about it. People love this place, so I feel fine about sending you there and am confident you will enjoy boners.
