Cheap wine & cheese night....join me?

[lildreamer316]

I'm saving my Boursin and high dollar Riesling for a girl's night; so I have light Laughing Cow, water crackers (craked pepper) and a $5.99 cali merlot which is suprisingly ok...Barefoot (blue and white label). I've liked everything I've tried from them so far; if you are going for cheap but palatatable I reccommend their cali white also.
Pull up a chair and have a glass....I do have some Razz Stoli hidden away if we get too crazy!

Stupid joke: WHat's my favorite italian wine?

















"Pleeeeeeeeease don't kill me!!!"

ha.

1. It's good to have cheese with cheap wine

The strong flavour of the cheese covers for any shortcoming of the wine.

[lildreamer316]

3. Well

this cheese isn't that great either; think I'm gonna go drag out the tapenade for it. Olives alone aren't doing it.

2. sure be glad to join you

drinking a chianti myself...

[lildreamer316]

5. Chianti?

I have not ventured there yet in my wine education. I am still not happy with a very dry wine. Any recs to get me started?

[wildhorses]

9. well, sheeesh, I would not call myself a conoseur...

I do not think you should start with chianti though...perhaps an Australian Shiraz?

4. Cheers!

Sofia Coppola sparkling wine (from a can, not too bad) and fries here.

Nice on a chilly SF night.

:toast:

[lildreamer316]

6. I like Coppola..

I tried the blue label merlot and loved it....haven't tried the cheaper one but I bet it's palatable.

7. Sounds like a fun night!

8. I LOVE Boursin. Especially with wine.

I've had the barefoot, it's decent. Tried Little Penguin? Not bad and pretty cheap also.

Enjoy for me too!

[lildreamer316]

11. Thanks..

I'll try that....:hi:

[BrotherBuzz]

10. Here's cheapo (well, totally free homemade) Pinot Noir right back at you

We're going the Ritter bitter-sweet chocolate route. Mmmmm

[lildreamer316]

12. That sounds pretty interesting..

hmmmmm.......

[BrotherBuzz]

16. More then just interesting, the bitter-sweet chocolate introduces....

texture into the game. It might just help transition you into enjoying a full bodied dry still red wine. A Ying and Yang sort of thing.

13. Cheap wine and cheese sounds heavenly

Wish I could join you. Can you FedEx some to Saginaw?

It's been all Mickey Dee's and Bud Light here so far today.

[lildreamer316]

14. Sorry dear..

Will save some for you!

[RevCheesehead]

15. sounds like some of the lousy dates I've been on...

cheap, whine, and CHEESE.

[lildreamer316]

19. LOL!!

you're killin'me.....oops.

[DS1]

17. Cavit is my cheap wine of choice. Is it cheap? Kinda tastes cheap.

Cracked Pepper are the only water crackers worth the money.

[lildreamer316]

20. You know that Cavit..

makes the Principato wines for Olive Garden *ducking* . I like the blush they make in that line for seafood meals; have some in the fridge right now.

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Barefoot wine is good wine

One of my fabs...the Chardonnay. Barefoot has won a lot of awards. Am surprised they've kept the price so low. Have enjoyed many Barefoot wines over the last eight years or so.

Am drinking a crisp Toad Hollow Chardonnay tonight!



Toast!

[lildreamer316]

22. Those are so cool!

I will try the Toad Hollow on your rec.

[lildreamer316]

21. and now Jeremy Brett's Sherlock is on..

I am happy........

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. Woo-hoo! Ripple and Kraft pasteurized processed American slices!

:bounce:

[SOteric]

24. Hrmph!

Snob. Obviously you think you're too good for Velveeta.
