Amazin' Avenue Wine Review

(I was going to write a lengthy review but instead I'll give my girlfriend's review verbatim.)

Garbage.

Damn, that's too bad

I actually got a bottle of CaberReyes as a housewarming gift from my sister and her fiance and I would’ve liked for it to at least be palatable.

Don't get me wrong, I drank the whole bottle...

but that was more due to Ollie’s pitching, Murphy’s defense/baserunning, Beltran’s non-slide and the man on the TV in the background.

tasty enough to drink away misery, then?

good enough for me!

Where can one get this?

I don’t care if it tastes like battery acid, I want a bottle.

I got it at an

unassuming Wine/Liquor store on 29th and 8th. I assuming they’re everywhere. Though, they’ve been out since sometime last season.

You live in Chelsea?

Hey neighbor.

I actually live in Forest Hills, Queens

but my longtime girlfriend lives in the undefinable K-Town/Midtown South/Chelsea border area. Any restaurant recommendations in the area? We mostly eat in KTown, but on the non-Korean front, I recommend a little place named Izumi on 28th between 6th and 7th. The prices are great, the sushi cuts are large and the food is clean which more than makes up for its humble appearance.

Sorry, can't help with the restaurant recommendations.

I live a little further north, in Hell’s Kitchen, and I don’t eat out much, either. The only time I’m out in Chelsea is if my team had a game there, and even then it’s just going to a bar.

They got a whole bunch of these

My brother and I shared a bottle of Johan’s shiraz or something. Papi has one, some Yankee has one . . . it’s good marketing even if it’s mediocre wine.

how does it compare to wild irish rose?

or perhaps a fine vintage 2008 thunderbird?

I prefer the 2007

It is better than those two as well as

the Night Train Express. Bringing up those two “wines” have stirred up some good/bad memoires.
