Make all the "Ventura Highway" and "Chocolate Rain" references you want, the fact of the matter is not even a catchy jingle is going to save this one ... Manufacturer: Mogen David Inc., New York...when it’s not left to sit for two weeks) and I think Purple Rain is aimed more at a female market. Aside from Boone’s Farm, this is about as close as a true bum wine comes to being a wine cooler.
I say, I say, you're doin' it all wrong, son! If'n ya wanna get a buzz on like a true Suth'en getleman, you gotta reach for the best! Manufacturer: Mogen David Inc., New York Price: ...to wish goodwill, but the rest of the year we try to keep him away from the kids for fear of lecherous intent. We need to keep the bum wines separate from the real liquor. Cheers!
Let's face it, gents, I didn't get to where I am today through determination and hard work. I just happened to be listening to a Lewis Black sketch about a man in New York who, at over 100 years of age...out there devoted to bum wine tasting parties and other fields of study, but these two are the pillars of the community. To them I raise my brown-bag-shrouded bottle and drink deeply to their success!
Hey there, sideshows. Your friendly, neighborhood Jerry is here with an update on the Great Bum Wine Review of 2008 ! As you may know, I've been hunting down various bottles of so-called "street wine"...Purple Rain and Key Lime Pie entries. Cisco Red is also high on my list as well as the perpetually elusive Night Train Express. Keep it here for the lowdown on the lowest of the low. Prost!
Today on the show we have the most venerable of all vintages: Thunderbird wine, the so-called "American Classic." In my experience, this liquor certainly is one class act. Manufacturer: E&J Gallo...the 70’s on Youtube featuring a bunch of black people at a disco bar “shaking ‘em up” with Thunderbird and grapefruit juice.

Well, for a lack of anything productive to do with this space on LiveJournal, I've decided on this! Welcome to the great "bum wine" review! In this ongoing article I will be posting my reviews and opinions...ask that anyone with information on where to more easily procure these products contact us at gfh110@psu.edu . Thank you for your consideration in this most influential of studies.
dudes, that was a hell of a weekend. those dozen empty bottles above? victims of our first ever bum wine tasting, in which a dozen or so of my favorite people converged upon my apartment and drank...the broncos/bills game yesterday. totally one of those 'why we love sports' joints, and just generally really, really well done. damn, dudes, that was a lot of typing. i gotta go take a nap now
i've spent the last five minutes learning just what the "bottle of Buckie" referred to in the new Ted Leo song with which i am infatuated is. turns out it's slang for Buckfast Tonic Wine , and if anyone...with the lady for a night of much-needed domesticity involving laundry and dinner and hockey and canasta and maybe kissing. *** for now, a few hours of work before i get there, though. sigh
