Had some friends over last week for a movie night and thought it'd be fun to do a wine tasting as well. Here are our notes. Clearly, we should keep our day jobs. Also, I should probably try a little harder to find at least a few worthy bottles of wine. Funny to see the priciest bottle get such a unenthusiastic response.

After getting our vino on, we sat down for a screening of A Clockwork Orange. Happy to say it still holds up after all of these years.

Wine number one
Spinner Merlot Sonoma/Napa — $9.99 from TJs

Notes:
"I'm gonna say Rhone – $10 – bitter, I'm gonna make it a #5"
"Boo!"
"Skanky"
"Cote du Rhone, $9, dry"
Mellow

Our negative notes for this wine seem to be somewhat corroborated here.
