It tasted kind of like apples.

10. Well...
I guess that's better than passing out with the box siphon in her mouth, or at least a little more manageable for him.

18. a real box pro would have cut the bindings off books and made a box slipover
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 08:49 PM by DS1
that made it look like there was a small collection of books over her headboard

20. if only she would slow down to two boxes a day
she's have the clarity to see opportunities like these.

I suspect the entire van is a place to crash after a bender at the local tequila bar

4. Did you get Haruka's voicemail?
She assures me that their Chardonnay is of much higher quality than the sparkling wine, even though both are for cheapskates.

2. I've never tried their 'sparkling', but I have tried a few of their basic wines.
Not bad for the price. Not good, but not bad. :P

6. I've never had their "basic" wines, but Haruka drinks them
Apparently, they're much better than the "sparkling."

16. One would hope. :P
If it tastes like apple but it's not s'posed to be cider, that's probably not a good sign.

7. the one I had was absolutely awful
and I'm no wine snob - I'll drink just about anything cheap, but this was particularly bad.

15. Yeah, I've gotten a bad bottle or two from them.
But overall they're usually pretty decent for their price.
