(*COUGH*)😀
I've got two types of
wine drinking modes, Scotch.
MODE NUMBER ONE: All about the taste AND the experience.....going to the wine refrigerator, checking the temp, selecting a bottle, popping the cork, taking the bottle and a cuppla
big cab drinking wine glasses out onto the front porch overlooking Audubon Park with my
shorty, turnin' on the home-stereo that pipes XM radio/ipod tunes everywhere-including-the porch/bedrooms/pool area...
for this, Scotchy, We utilize
Silver Oak(Napa>>Alexander Valley), Isosceles, Chateau Souverain (Alexander Valley), Purple Angel cabs..
BIG, BOLD, CHEWY, CRYSTAL-CLEAN-FINISHING CABS...
But, well,
that kinda quality comes with a price.
Surgeon-hottie GF just got back from
Ellio's with 16 bottles-of-cabs....
price for 16 bottles of FRONT PORCH SIPPING-Audubon Park-people-watching wines?
ONE LARGE.😱

yeah whatever life is short
MODE NUMBER TWO:
Don't feel like "experiencing" anything. Just wanna get in the shower after work, have a glass or two of a cab that won't burn when I swallow it, yet still gives me hints of a great cab, but becuzza the price, theres fruity, yeah, but no distinction....no oakiness...tannins not overbearing but a little too strong...moderate to average finish.
The kinda cab you like when the bottle is not an integral part of an
experience....when you come home, clean up, eat some leftovers, crawl in bed with GF and watch
Project Runway...
AND THE WINNER FOR MODE NUMBER TWO OF WINE DRINKING IS.......
BLACK BOX.
😱😱
"UHHHH.....JET.....HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FU KKING MIND???? RECOMMENDING A WINE THAT COMES INNA BOX????"
Nope. Havent lost my mind.
YOU'RE ASKING FOR RELATIVE QUALITY ON A RESIDENT SALARY.....SO DUDE, HERES THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK.
That
Black Box stuff is pretty good.
Not GOOD.....not GREAT.....not an EXPERIENCE WINE...
But pretty good!
Heres the best part......looking for a pretty good cab to sip on after a long day as a resident...something that'll hint at fruitiness and is big enough to call it
chewy? Try the
Black Box cab. In the box is the equivalent of FOUR bottles of wine.....for.....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE>>>>>>>>>>>
TWENTY BUCKS!!!!!😍
Thats five bucks per
BOTTLE.
And its
pretty good.
Hell....its so suited for residency I think they should rename it
RESIDENT'S BLACK BOX.😆
