New semi-erratic post series I’ll be doing is
Wine for cheap Loser
This episode we have a flirty cherry moscato from the Oliver winery
Found at target for $10 this wine is slightly sweet not too dry. Good room temp and cold so if you don’t have time to chill no worries.
The alcohol percentage isn’t terribly high, so its good for just sitting in and relaxing. Split a bottle with a friend last night while watching Nacho Libre 10/10 experience.

"A combination of fine tea, enchanting objects and soothing surroundings exerts a therapeutic effect by washing away the corrosive strains and stress of modern life. [... It] induces a mood that is spiritually refreshing [and produces] a genial state of mind."

Sangio on the Table
I read a wine-writer over the weekend say it was rosé season, so figured I might as well break some out. Despite my preference for Grenache, I DO like Sangiovese rosé, and here’s two from opposite ends of the earth. One a Tuscan IGT, one a Chalone from Monetery Co in California. Nearly identical in color, but there the similarities part.
The Californian expresses fobust floral and pretty soft…

My new year's resolution is to learn more about Rosè wine
I was also going to curate a wine collection but I got layed off at Christmas and therefore no longer have a flat to keep the collection in (godbless the childhood bedroom) so I'm going to do a wine diary instead
Would anyone be interested?

133: Pink Wine // Pink Wine
Pink Wine
Pink Wine
2013, P. Trash (Bandcamp)
Toronto spiked-soda-punks in the vein of the revered Exploding Hearts—and given the tragic shortage of Hearts material, anything that stakes out the same melodic buzzsaw territory is more than welcome. Pink Wine’s not nearly as consistent as Guitar Romantic (few albums are), but at its best I get that same defibrillator kick: “Cold Sweats,” “Ghost Eddy,” and the perfect “Better Half” still do it for me ten years down the line, goofball tunes to blast from your beater while your prom date’s father scowls through the peephole at you on the doorstep in your black denim, slugging from a flask and holding a wilted bouquet of flowers. Pink Wine weren’t much longer for this world, but guitarist Liam Doyle and vocalist Joey French would go on to be charter members of Sam Coffey & the Iron Lungs, a Thin Lizzy-necromancing Toronto rock institution. I don’t know the writing credits on the Lungs’ records, but I’d be surprised if Doyle and French didn’t have a big hand in crafting Coffey’s boisterous major key singalongs.
One gripe: on the vinyl edition, the A-side is 33 rpm and the B-side is 45, which has more than once fucked me up. I ran into bassist Joey Parenteau at a show a few years after Pink Wine had gone on permanent hiatus (their final recording was 2015’s Anxiety EP) and he claimed this was at least partially a joke on the band’s part. Got my ass, but I’ll hang onto this one anyway.
