That's right, it's WINE O'CLOCK.
To celebrate this moment I thought I would share with you my two favourite reds, that have stood by me all winter.
This is my favourite. Very smooth, very rich, very clean on the palate. People will be surprised at just how nice it is, especially when you tell them the price.
Currently on sale at First Choice for $10, but if you buy one you will get one for free. Yes - $5 per bottle!
It features a screw top so it is easy to transport to the park and back, eliminating that must drink the whole bottle mentality, which is so ruinous at the random breath test. And is also not very classy with your kids in the car.
It comes in a handy 6 pack so you will never need to be wine free unless you want to.
This wine was my favourite, until I was introduced to Trails End, above.
It is not as smooth as Trails End, but is not too bad at all - great for quaffing now and certainly excellent for cooking. Your face will only have a cat's bum moment for the first sip, after that it will be very acceptable indeed.
This one features the same screw top considerations, and the price is even more remarkable - $4 a bottle, with a further reduction if you buy by the dozen! I know, so affordable.
I guess this wine is only a step up from a goon, and a word of caution - do not drink the white. Nasty.
Now that spring is only a few short days away it is almost time to put my winter uniform away and start drinking a white. What would you recommend?
