So let me recommend this bottle, only $8 on sale at my local liquor shop.

REDS BY THE GLASS

Fred Ludd’s
“Drinkable” Merlot, Gary, Indiana $2
A bunch of grapes, and they’re smooshed, and then they get kind of rotten, and we drain off the alcohol part and that’s the part you drink, and then you’re drunk. Are you going to finish that burger?

College Town Vineyards
“Freshman at Thanksgiving” Pinot Noir $11
A Nietzscheian blend of arrogant pinot grapes, half-informed with an amusing smugness. Fermented in stainless steel vats, formed from iron ore mined by exploited workers in Guatemala, which our government uses as drug mules to fund a shadow war that’s gone unreported for more than fifty years. Great when paired with Gang of Four or Fugazi CDs, Southern Hunan cuisine (not the northern provinces, which are so fucking mainstream I want to puke), and ironic T-shirts.

Cracking Crow Hill
Australian Shiraz $9
A binky wosgow of keezy plinkers, hoop-daddied for a ‘dillo’s wink and flappled in a pongo. Hints of sweet bashie, roasted wopabaggle, and frum-dipped mollys. A right chickamoo!

Way back when MussMyHair was supposed to be partly a place to exchange picks for affordable (or even cheap, if good) wine between Squidocto and the Crushinator. Well the other night both of us were at Saigon Grill and had this sweet delicious sake. And I had a little notebook, so took notes.

This sake, Sho Chiku Bai Nigori unfiltered sake, is cheap and really tasty.
