It’s here…..

The new vintage of Red Sox wine.  The first vintage straight up sucked.  No fancy wine-speak here.  It tasted like poo, especially the Shilling Schardonnay, BUT this vintage has a Sauvignon blanc varietal that might have a chance, plus I love Sauv blancs in the summer.  Apparently there is also a Cabernet sauvignon and a Cab blend but it is so difficult to make a truly unique Cab, or blend thereof, that I have already assumed they will super-suck. 

I hope I am wrong.

How did I find out that they made it to market already……?  My husband purchased them today and tried to SNEAK THEM INTO THE MAN ROOM without me noticing them.  I think for two reasons.  First, he has been harassing me non-stop about “the recession” and “gas prices” and definitely felt guilty that he had purchased my favorite past-time because it had a picture of his favorite past-time on it. Second, HE HAS NO PLANS OF DRINKING THEM!  at all…..ever….they are destined to sit in his man-room gathering dust next to his sports almanacs and old wrestling dolls (sorry, but I don’t clean in there, my OCD has it’s limits.)  SO, this means I must buy a whole new set to taste and enjoy.  All proceeds go to charity, so really…I’m like, helping and stuff. 

By the way, I will let you know if they suck as hard as the first batch once my husband leaves for a weekend and I drink his I get a chance to actually open some up.
