$1 wine tasting

Who knew, every Saturday BevMo has wine tastings for $1. That's $1 for 8 wines. Now, some of the wines are not the finest (Gallo Chardonnay), but others are well worth a taste (Kim Crawford Pinot Blanc).
Kelly and her shot glass of wine....next time we bring our own glasses!

Kelly and I stopped by BevMo on our list of errands around town today, and were pleased to have stumbled upon a cheap wine tasting, it really makes the rest of the grocery shopping more fun. We met all sorts of "regulars", you can pick them out because they brought their own wine glasses...everyone else (including us) has to taste out of these plastic shot glasses, not so good for releasing the aroma of the wine. The guy in charge of the tasting was a sommelier, eager to answer our questions and guide us through each wine. Athough, I think that he thought Kelly and I were lesbians, as he kept referring to Kelly as my "partner". But then again, there were some old guys who were hitting on Kelly...it makes me wonder now what kind of image do we give off together?
Anyway, on our way out we found these pre-made drinks in martini glasses, looks pretty gross to me, wondering who in their right might would buy that?
Apple or Chocolate?? No thanks!!
Testing out a new summer sangria tonight, I'll post the results soon...

hahah, while leslie and i were in palm springs, i am sure the front desk guy thought we were 'together' because when he was suggesting places we could go for drinks, he was sure to let us know which ones were gay friendly!

are you going to package your sangria and sell it in a plastic pitcher at bevmo?
