Yeah, Yellowtail is boodywhack.

It makes OK sangria. But that is about it.

Lemme Get Your Drunken Opinion

Is there any DECENT wine that's under ten bucks a bottle, or should I just give it up and stick to Mickey's Big Mouth 40 oz. at our dinner party tomorrow?

chestertodd might be a better source. I'm kind of a wine idiot. You might try Trader Joes if you have one near you though.

Damn, Damn, Our Transportation Options! [Insert Shaking Fist Here]

Sadly, we only have a Flexcar at our disposal right now. This is good for midnight runs to Wal-Mart (we are doing one tonight), since it is FREE to use from 11PM-7AM (including gas and insurance). However, day trips are trickier, and more expensive. But you are absolutely right, Trader Joe's is the place to go. I might just say fuck it and we'll make blender margaritas instead. They fuck you up, and a $2 margarita tastes as good as $16 margarita. [See also, Trailer Park Lounge.]

HAHAHAHA That's what all my friends drink too.

A Craptacular Bouquet

I guess if it was just known as cheap, crappy wine, it wouldn't piss me off so much. But it's cool to drink that shit, as though it was some sort of status symbol among the young urban elite.

What I'd like to find out is how much status it has in Australia. One of the funniest things I ever heard was how those heinous $100 Ugg boots that were so damn trendy here a few years ago are cheap crappy boots that white trash skanks wear in Australia (where they come from). Maybe those same skanks are drinking Yellowtail out of paper bags to put them in the mood for sticking their Ugg-clad ankles in the air.

Is it as bad as Boone's Farm Green Apple ? LOL

Well, It's Like This

[cuervolinda]

Not quite as bad, but that didn't make it good. It's more like would you rather eat a warm turd, or a cold turd? Either way, you eat a turd.

Do they sell New York Fingerlakes wine where you are? If so, I could make some recommendations. It's usually pretty cheap (under $10 a bottle).

I HEART This Icon!

[cuervolinda]

I don't even know why, but I just love it.

Anyway, I'm sure I can either find it somewhere here, or online. Thanks to the Internet, the World is My Mall™.

Here are a some of my favorites ... Not that I'm a Wino or Anything ...

I'm a white, sweet person. I don't do reds much and won't drink wine that tastes like shit.

From Lucas, I really like Butterfly and Miss Adventurous and Miss Behaving. Those have very cool labels too and would make great gifts.

Four Chimneys is probably my most favorite but is sometimes hard to find because they are small and nichy. Their best is Golden Crown. Eye of the Bee and Kingdom White are also delicious.

From Bully Hill, I love Le Goat Blush. Just because it's fun and has an artsy label.

Crows are Best, But Any Birds or Cute Animals Are Good Too.

"Just because it's fun and has an artsy label."
When I've got a regular paycheck, my favorite wine is Whatever Has the Prettiest Label™.

Seriously

"you gotta figure the extra $3 is the cost of flying their australian swill up here"...no lie, I remember my sister telling me Hershey's was advertised as "fine imported chocolate" in England when she was there.

I think I'll start selling Boone Hill in Europe and make myself rich.
