Tonight we are watching the Bachelor's hometown dates...and enjoying some intown wine and bacon/cheese amazingness.
This evening's wines of choice:
We'll start off with Starborough, 2009, Sauvignon Blanc
Price: $11.99
Location: Local Liquor Store (i.e. "That one on like 24th and N?")
To us, this smells fruity or possibly like a 'kitten' (depending on if you have one readily available and playing around your wine). We both love this wine. At first, because it has such a pretty bottle (yay starfish!!!), but also because it is light, fruity, hints of lemon and grapefruit and a light finish.
Those of you familiar with Bachelor knows tonight is the most important of all nights...HOMETOWN DATES!!!
We start of with Chantal from Seattle:
Now, Sarah happens to love Seattle, so Chantal starts off with extra points right off the bat. However, the consensus on Chantal is that "she looks really pretty when she's not crying." Basically, she's screwing herself over because she's a) hot, b) rich (holy f*ck, did you see that house?!), and c) seems pretty cool for growing up with money. BUT, she cries at a drop of a hat and nobody loves a crybaby.
While we're enjoying the lovely sights of Seattle, we are also tasting the delicacies of ham and cheese courtesy of Trader Joes:
Not only are these amazing, but they might also cause you to die of a heart attack. Which I guess is also great, depending on your personal opinion.
Next up on our hometown dates is...Ashley!
She's nice enough...but apparently bad eyebrows run in her family. We're also a fan of her tattooed sister more than her.
Time for wine #2!!
Dancing Bull, 2009, Sauvignon Blanc
Price: $9.99
Location: That same liquor store down the block
According to Linz, this one smells like 'truffles.' Which, come to think of it, sounds disgusting, but really it was pretty good! Hints of vanilla, smooth, easy to drink and a lot lighter than the last wine.
Next date, local girl Shawntel:
Chico!!! What, what!!
So, as much as we like Shawntel, even we weren't onboard with the date in the dead box. "Welcome to Chico...here's a cemetery!!" But, her sisters are pretty, so she's got that going for her.
And finally, the last date was the amazing, wonderful, perfect, Emily!!!
Yeah, so she's perfect. And beautiful. And amazing. Also....they ate grilled cheese together and drank water out of mason jars. Really, what more could you want out of a woman!?! We kind of want to marry her.
Game on, Brad.
Snarky Winos you are so right about the hotness of Ashley's sister. Why isn't she on the show instead. Not sure about your choices of wines this week but I will give them a try. Hope to see some red wine choices for the finale next week. Again another great blog post. Would love your reality tv opinions about the Amazing Race that just aired. Just a thought.
