Lucy’s - House Red

House Red:

Ashley: “The details are foggy, but I definitely finished drinking it, so it must have been alright?  What am I, some rocket genius who can just remember every wine she drank all night?”

The Watering Hole - House White

House Sauvignon Blanc:

Ashley: “This little jerk started out with a sharp nose Simple Green and an acrid, nigh crumbly mouthfeel.  After allowing it to breath via spilling it all over my table, it relaxed into a mellow ride through a history of Jolly Rancher candy - from sour apple to watermelon.  

Also, this bar will give you free wings and fries if you live without fear of disease.  Overall, A-.”

Saloon - House Red

House Red:

Ashley: “An equestrian wine, evoking leather straps, hay, rustic Vermont barns and their various wood-parts; some porcupine food undertones.  Not bad, but it was preceded by a bacon-infused rye, so like, forget it.”

Saloon - Somerville, MA

Church - House White

House White:

Ashley: “Nose of Bonnie Bell lipsmackers.  Palette of rice vinegar, Farley’s fruit snacks and cardamom.  Truly shocking.

Radio - House Red

House Merlot:

Ashley: “Opaque and paste-like, this uncharismatic red opens with notes of dust, rocks, and fallen plaster, gradually leading into the claustrophobic sensation of an entire mouthful of Hunts ketchup.  Then, there were more rocks.  I implore you to learn from my mistakes and not put this wine in your body.”

Grendel’s Den - House White

House Pinot Grigio:

Ashley: “Harsh.  Sore throat, cleaning products, notes of falsehoods and chicanery.  All wrong, all done.  I wouldn’t regret it, even if I had the choice. “

St. Anselm - House Red & White

Draught Syrah:

Ashley, heavily DayQuil’d: “This tastes like KETCHUP and smells like NOTHING!”

Draught White Wine:

Dan: “Sweet white, paired well with various animals.”

The Model Cafe - House White

“This Is White, I Think”:

Ashley: “The details of the actual flavors elude me, which in retrospect was all part of the plan. Better than the many other poisonous and/or inorganic liquids that could have been poured in rather than wine.  At least, I think.”

The Model - Allston, MA

Tulsa Convention Center - House White

Stone Bluff “V” Sweet White:

Christmas: “Literally described as nothing more than a ‘Sweet White’ on the Stone Bluff website - seriously guys. Have a little self respect.  That aside, it did hit the spot, once I came to realize it was not a true house wine, but rather a Sno Cone pineapple syrup-flavored tropical drink with wine-esque undertow. Good for post-show sippin’ while discussing Death Note with a guy wearing cat ears.”
