The Interstellar Housewife: Sadly...

Sadly...

So, uh -- guess what I saw in the label when I opened this up a while ago?

This is a clear sign that I need a break.

And yes, it is terribly cheap vino. Hey! We're in an economic crisis!

Deirdre said...: Yes and yes. Fair enough, at least. =)

If it tastes good, and it costs less, who am I to argue?; January 28, 2010 at 2:20 AM
Deirdre said...: By the way, it is a Shiraz.; January 28, 2010 at 2:22 AM

Drink it s'more! It really brings out 'shiraz! >wink<

Erik said...: Now your tagline should read:

One half Hillbilly Meier and one half Drunk!; January 28, 2010 at 7:34 AM

Bob Koford said...: Interesting...the images of piggies in the background tend to resemble the images on the "cheap" wine bottle.

Pigs from space?

And more importantly, are those piggy cork screws?(the sitting pig); January 28, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Deirdre said...: No - just wooden cut-outs I got at a flea market on the coast. There are two of them, one is hidden behind the bottle.

I have tons of pig knick-knacks all over the kitchen and in some of the living room. I even have piggy corn on the cob skewers!; January 28, 2010 at 11:45 AM
Deirdre said...: @Erik - we don't discuss Meier, here. No. We definitely do not. :p

Seriously, I knew those pics were baloney at 6 years old. People amaze me.; January 28, 2010 at 11:47 AM
Deirdre said...: @Regan - there is a Grocery Outlet here in Portland (a nice one). Not sure where else you might get it.

I can send you a bottle if they don't have the chain in your neck of the woods.

It was a 2004 and really not bad at all - and that is usually not the case with screw-off lids, something I failed to notice at the grocer's.; January 28, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Bob Koford said...: 2004 seems to be a good year for several wines.

I just had an awesome St. Clement 2004 Cab, and a 2005 Edna Valley Pinot Nois that is equally as awesome.

They are both pricey, by my standards (20+ dollars per)but, unless you go with French, thats what the, in my opinion, over-priced California wines have come to.

I tend to save up money to get a decent bottle, because I just can't handle the cheap stuff anymore. I figure, why waste my money on a tart, acidic wine, just cause I can afford it?

But, that doesn't mean that a nice wine, that is inexpensive, doesn't pop up now, and then.; January 28, 2010 at 8:26 PM

But the label looks cool.

Erik said...: They should have an image of Greys crawling around in a dumpster on the bottles of MD 20/20...

I saw sounds and heard colors drinking that shit as a teen. Red Flag! When the fluid in every bottle pours a different color than the previous bottle, that should be a heads up.

Apparently I took it to mean a heads up my ass...

Deirdre said...: Ugh, MadDog. I know it well. Once upon a time I was performing live in Chicago for the first time and I drank some MD to calm my nerves. I think it was the Kiwi one.

Not the best idea I have ever had.; January 29, 2010 at 9:31 AM
