Have you tried Bota Box?

I often just want a glass or two and don’t feel like opening a bottle on my own, so it’s my go to. They have a redvolution and a nighthawk black that are good everyday sippers

-IPA's...good their be a more abrasive, acquired taste? And the whole fad seems to be centered around making them as bitter and undrinkable as possible


have you not had an IPA since 2010?

Chipotle can definitely be done healthy, but a lot of these places have strategic marketing strategies that lead people to believe they’re making the healthy choice simply by eating there. The commercials, buzzwords like “fresh”, the color scheme, etc. Zoe’s Kitchen (one of my favorites) does the same thing. You CAN eat healthy at Zoe’s. You can also end up with a 1000+ calorie lunch.

Kinda like when someone orders a salad and drowns it in Italian dressing, falsely thinking that oil based dressings are somehow magically free to slather your food in. Salads tend to run higher than burgers in many restaurants.

Any of those Tuscans. All italian red blends.

If you want something domestic, Smith and hook red blend should be about $16.99. Freakshow Red Blend is $18.99.

You list shellfish, tacos, Chinese and fried chicken? Those are the four food groups!

Granted, Africa is catchy, but the lyrics make no sense.

don’t get the appeal of why so many younger people love anal sex when there is a perfectly good vagina near by. I’d rather pass on getting shite on my dick.


But I don’t like getting pee on my wiener either

I’ve seen studies where sommeliers blind tested wines and and couldn’t even tell the difference between red and white.

And they put a cheap wine in an expensive bottle and he praised it while calling the cheap bottle swill.


Same wine.

I just know the ones I like

I agree. There are clearly better ones but for every day glasses, that and black box are pretty good.

It's like saying Miller lite is a good every day, but you still prefer the craft beers.

What’s a good red blend in the $10-20 range? 

My wife really likes the 19 Crimes Dark Red blend. It's like $10-12 at most stores around here.

I'd like to see this study and what they consider to be a sommelier. That seems improbable.

That’s how I first grabbed that. I will do so a lot of the time, but I don’t only buy with horses.
