Micro Church Guys' Wine Night Bonanza!
Had a fantastic night last Friday night with the micro church lads - we had a boys' night with a wine theme. We all brought a bottle of wine with the label covered, and spent the night going through each of the bottles to try and figure out what grape type the wine was, where it was from and what year it was, you know, made (bottled).
Laughter probably characterised the night, with much antics and frivolity being the instigatory element in causing the said... laughter (if I can get a bit David McGahan on you for a second). Dan with his 'Dove of Peace' rendition, Andrew with his smart alec mutterings, Mark with his tales of... well, I won't repeat what the tales were of (he might get embarrassed), Doug with his professional palate, and me just being random and ridiculous.
This is us on the left. For those who don't know, (from left to right) it's Dan Baldwin, some drunken badger from Smoit, Andrew McKenzie, and Mark Tucci. Doug Andrews came later on in the night, after getting off a plane from Brisbane at about 8pm (he came straight over - now that's commitment).Mmmmm.... Shiraz.

Nice work dboy. You forgot to let everyone know that you were in fact the champion wine taster, scoring the most points and taking out the evenings coveted wino trophy! Well done. By the way, some of the photos indicate a glassed over look on your eye's. How many 'tastes' did you end up having?
Man, I love Dr Dan's new 'stache.
I know! How cool is it/he? Brilliant.
Puffin, I guess you could say that. I moved to Arthurs Creek (rural town/hamlet 50mins north of Melbourne) when I was 7 and have had chardonnay coming out my ears ever since.
I don't know about being a good winetaster though (or didn't know until now I guess). I never really thought I had a clue!
Dr Dan, I cirtnly diddnt hav mour thun Ie normunly do. AT lesast nowe I arnt driiiiiiiiiIIIIINNKKKK!!!
Oh, and would anonymous like to identify themselves?
heheh, im not as thunk as you drink, its just the affluence of incohol...
Heh heh, funny drunk people...
Certainly looks like you guys had fun. You'd better have, or there will be BLOOD TO PAY!! :P
And go Dboy in the first frame, looking drunk and a mule...
AS A mule, I meant AS A mule!! *hides beer bottles*
*laughs out loud at guru* you're funny.
So what's the best Gewurztraminer I can find at a decent price, dboy? Sitting in the middle of the US... we don't always get the best wines. Although, a lot of new wine shops are sprouting up with some amazing imports!
Oh my gosh! That looks like so much fun dboy! I'm heaps jealous! I want to go to a wine night! Can we have a wine night?
more like a 'whine' night.
*pats self congratulatorly on back for a most witty remark*
You should have just brought water and hoped it would undergo some sought of transphormation. It worked in the Bible after all.
Yeah, what's the deal with that? I want the best of wines from tap water! Hello Jesus?
That was the funniest thing you've ever said, Brent. Poor Brent.
brb
What is a Gewurztraminer? A type of wine? We don't drink rubbish in Australia :) Best Chardonnays in the world!
Megan, you can have a wine night! Why don't you buy yourself a bottle tonight!
Oh what has my life become!!!
Ah, so many potential jokes. But all too easy. So I'll do something more original.
*kicks Ludi in the shin and runs*
*cries*
Rubbish? Ack, d-boy! At least Gewurztraminer isn't that stupid, nutty Chardonnay. (just kidding) It's an Alsace white... a little spicy (cloves, nutmeg) and flowery with goldish tones. I loveeee this grape! you must try it sometime!
Therefore, I will. Gehwhurtzentruttenthammingazherter me up! I will search for this legendary grape, over yonder hilltops and into the lairs of dragon-badgers...
*ponders how to gehwhurtzentruttenthammingazherte Dboy*
You need to read the past conversation to find out :)
MPB: it's a very yummy white wine. My favorite used to be Riesling, but a good Gewurztraminer [geh-VEHRTZ-trah-mee-ner]is quickly moving up the charts. If I lived in dboy's neighborhood, my favorite would probably have to be Chardonnay.
*Gehwhurtzentruttenthammingazhertes the whole group!*
Mmmm.... toes and vinegar.
Toe jam adds to the back palate, but takes away from the fruit.
Yes, they will call it "Pumpernickle's Princely Punch" and feed it to all the fauns that dance around Dionyses' feet.
