Grumble and booze talk

[helicase]

Lately, I've been only consuming one glass of wine at a time (I know, shocking).  I didn't want to open a bottle, but REALLY wanted some Cab.  So, my lovely husband said he would run out and buy me some boxed wine.  Now, we typically get "good" boxed wine (Bota Box, Black Box, etc).  He just strolled in with FRANZIA! 



I thought he knew better. 

So, I'm choking down some shitty Franzia Cab tonight.  What are you drinking?

I was drinking Pimms Italianos earlier, because I'm fancy like that. Now I'm drinking water. Womp womp.

[rjamz]

I had a fair amount of sauvignon blanc earlier. Now water.

I've never had boxed wine. I don't think they make it kosher

Lol! I drink "good" boxed wine, but I turn up my nose at franzia. However, if it's the only choice...

[teamhayes]

We used to drink Franzia in college - good ole times. I still get it occasionally to make sangria.


I made a pink lemonade and pomegratate seltzer drink. I could have had the whole carton.

(Non alcoholic in case you all think I am ruining my unborn child)

You aren't missing much.  I should have just opened a bottle.  I haven't found a good vacuum pump to store open bottles, though.

Its a dirty martini night here

Some boxed wine is incredible! In Scandinavia its really popular and majorly good brands have boxes.

Then I pick ones because they are pink and have stars and wind up finding a great rose. I got sooo lucky for the wine and DH putting up with my crazy whims lol.

I usually keep a good box of wine in the fridge. MIL always has franzia on hand. Blech!

I also like that better wines now come in small in small single serve bottles. Those are great to keep in the house. H is gone for the night at a bachelor party. About to pour some Chardonnay now...

You can't be filled with sad because you're already filled with baby

Water. Whomp whomp! I'd like a beer, but it's too late to start now.

[bigapple]

Just water now to balance the many beers and sangria I had at a cookout earlier.

Ohh Franzia...I used to drink that so much. :sigh:

I think tonight is a glass of wine (Barefoot Moscato) followed by a beer (Shock Top) kind of night

Cheers!

Shock top here too and possibly a Red Stripe if DH didn't drink them all after I stomped off to bed and had a mini tantrum last night

Ive got some lemonade beer in the refrigerator, the season finale of greys on DVR, a husband who is away, a baby who is sleeping, and veggies and dip.

This could actually turn out to be a pretty good night.

Have you tried their different flavors? They have a Honeycrisp Apple one that is DE-licious.

That's what we have! So good.

Unsweet tea for me tonight. My mom is here for the weekend and she frowns on drinking, so all the alcohol is hidden away.

[christidee]

I think I just wanted a reason to poas, but I poas before opening the beer. You know, just to make sure.
