Just something we have been laughing about on the podcast [Rivalcastmedia.com] aka Far A Field podcast…
I’ve been taking down a different bottle of wine on each episode. I’m not Wine Guy. I’m not even Snooty Beer guy, but this is fun. This weeks pick:
Fish Eye – Pino Noir / 2012
I don’t have tons of experience to compare this to, however the price tag was an absurd $2.99, which also had Fuel Saver credits attached to it at my local Hy Vee grocery store. Since the big draw on this weeks episode was me losing my job; I thought getting plastered on cheapo vino was in order! I’ll admit, after downing the entire bottle in an hour and change I did have a slight buzz going. It’s alcohol content labeled as 13.5% by volume but that was really the best part. It was fairly harsh, and I felt the alcohol had separated from the flavor pretty widely. Not the worst on the shelf, and I’d use this to cook with or make a rum punch or especially good sangria; but on its own, I wouldn’t expect to see this guy served table side, by the glass, anywhere.
