Yet another installment of d. Drinks a Red and I Drink a White(ish) Because Red Wine Makes Me Hurl.
Look, I don't even like red wine. I don't know why I keep buying this Rosé crap all the time. This one, in particular, is really red. Too red. I prefer my cheap white/red mixes to be all light and pink and airy and fruity. Christ, maybe I just like wine coolers. Is that so wrong?
A: YES
So, this'll probably be a short one:
First sip: *SHUDDER*
Second sip: Okay, okay. I taste some sort of fruit in there--maybe raspberries or strawberries.
Third sip: I guess I can taste the vanilla. Some kind of comforting dessert-y type flavour, anyway.
There's actually quite a bit going on in this wine for a $11 bottle of Yellow Tail. Despite it's weird bitter mouth-shrinking redness, it's kind of interesting. After a few more sips, it all comes together really nicely, and I have stopped being a hater. I'll drink this with only minor complaints--mostly having to do with always choosing crap I'm predisposed to hating.
(PLUS: 13.5% alcohol. GOOD JOB.)
