There's all kinds of wine out there to suit any kind of drinker. I happen to be every kind of drinker. I like a challenging wine from time to time that forces me to think, reframe and dig deeper to find the deliciousness in it. I like the no-brainer, all purpose, easy-drinking/pairing ones that are neither here nor there but really just serve to lube the camaraderie and dinner conversation. I like the ones that seem only to taste good when paired with food.
And I like the kind that doesn't really seem to go all that well with food, but is just a good time in a bottle. This is that.
Giggly, pink, sweet, stick an ice cube in it for your Asian mother who can't drink to save her life, girlywine.
Yup. GIRLYWINE. Just look at it. It's like magenta Swarovski crystals and Mr. Bubble all wrapped up in a bottle.
The label even makes you wanna paint your toenails.
And because it's so dang sweet, the buzz hits even faster, and before you know it, you're GIGGLING. Like a little GIRL.
Your craft-brewing/drinking Man would not be caught dead with a glass of this stuff in public, but sometimes, when you're sitting on the couch, watching a bunch of spray tanned and spackled housewives from New Jersey flip over tables and call their frenemies *PROSSTITOOSHUN WHOOAHS* while their veins are fixin to pop out their necks, a glass of this stuff makes that shit even more hilarious.
LA PARRA LOCA 2010 TEMPRANILLO ROSE (temprahNEEyoh rohSAY)
Where: Fresh & Easy
Tasting Notes: Very sweet, mildly red grape-y, with a generally non-descript fruity essence
Goes With: Maybe a lightly dressed and fairly acidic salad, or a light and acidic seafood preparation
Buy Again? YES if I had a bunch of light drinker girlfriends coming over for an Oscar night or Tupperware party
Cheers <in two syllables with my head cocked>,
