April 22, 2009Once again in some delusional, ass backwards mindset I picked up a shitty non-Willamette Valley wine in hopes it would be good. This time it bit me in the ass. This wine was fucking foul; Transients would turn it down. After sipping on this, Mad Dog 20/20 mango flavor was actually starting to sound pretty good. But while looking at the label I began to think it looked awfully similar to the not so bad Underwood Cellars. Then I did a little sleuthing and found out that they are both owned by Union Wine Company. Way to fuck up and be super inconsistent, geniuses. They are probably using the same fucking grapes it is just one dude sucks and the other is not so bad. Get new dudes at Kings Ridge. They can obviously do better. 1 out of 5. Don’t drink this trash.

April 13, 2009I have decided to start reviewing beer and wine from my beloved state of Oregon and the surrounding areas in addition to cooking crappy food. The Pacific Northwest is a booze mecca. From IPA’s to pinot noir, we got it covered. So without further adieu, let’s begin:
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
March 8, 2009“What? Are we going to make a Pinot Noir.” Don’t be stupid. We leave that up to UC Davis students around here. This is an instructional guide on how to look like a know-it-all (opposed to a dumbass) when it comes to Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Your lady will be so impressed with your posturing she will fall into your arms and whisper “do with me what you will.”
Only buy wine that says “Willamette Valley.” If it just says “Oregon” it is fool’s wine; Don’t buy it. Pour into a 750ml pinot glass as seen above. “Wait a minute. I was at a winery the other day and that is NOT an Oregon pinot glass.” Okay, there is a specific Oregon pinot glass and it is a slight variation on this one but who really gives a fuck. This is a motherfucking pinot glass and it is fucking acceptable so stop your bitching you pretentious ass.
