The poor man’s wine pairing
Fri. August 22, 2008
While exploiting the tasty grapes of Wine Country this weekend– laced with flavors of oak, pepper, chocolate covered cherries, bird shit, and the like– it occurred to me that at $40+/per bottle, I’d really like to learn the joys and nuances of cheaper wine.
Then it struck me… why are there no poor man’s guides to wine pairing? Like, what wine does pair well with Taco Bell? A nice Savignon Blanc from the corner gas station perhaps. And what goes with Wendy’s? How ’bout a delicious Five Oaks Chardonnay sold exclusively at Rite Aid at 2 for $5 (plus $1 off coupon).
It’s honestly quite good. But you wonder what the heck is in that wine that its so yummy and cost effective? Not sure about you, but I don’t think I want to know. Just kick back and enjoy it like its the hot dog of the wine industry. Contents may include the lips and assholes of grapes.

First, I like to think that my comment about Taco Bell inspired your blog in a very small way.
Secondly, I am very interested now in knowing about the cheap wine. And not just what goes into making cheap wine but what goes into making ALL things cheap. There should be a show on the Discovery channel about it.
Also, cute picture, Denise Huxtable.
