10/13/2009 (Pro-mis-Q-ous wine and Gimlet)

Started the evening with half a bottle of Pro-mis-Q-ous Red wine from Target. Its a blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Syrah. I like Zinfandel and Syrah, so I thought I’d try it. When I picked it up at Target, I thought the shelf said it was about $7. However I must be fucking blind because it was $11 on the reciept. Oh well. I'm out 4 bucks-- Its my contribution to the economy. It was ok on the first sip, but it got increasingly sweet as I went on. It was not exactly to my taste, but tolerable. Not worth $11 bucks. But for a slutty wine, it was ok.

Finished the night with a gimlet. Tanqueray gin, splash of Roses Lime Syrup, and a splash of club soda. End result is a drink that looks like iced pee, but tastes like a proper drunkard drink should. Bracing, slightly gross, and full of booze. I am a bourbon and scotch man myself, but gin has a place in my heart as well. Its ESTABLISHED if you know what I mean. Waspy.
