We have no shame
But you already knew that.
If you’re the type who only drinks things you can swirl, sniff, and describe as having “excellent mouthfeel” this one’s not for you. For everyone else: you know how we do. Pull up a crusty lawn chair and let’s talk about the inexpensive drinks we truly enjoy. As much as this is a no flex zone, it’s a no judgement zone as well.
Hot-ish Takes
We love a well-aged vintage as much as the next person, but some nights? You’re six episodes deep into reality TV, Googling “what is dirty soda,” and all you need is something easy.
This is our ode to the drinks people don’t like to admit they love.
Let us stop you right there. DO NOT be a hater. Pairs like a pro with sushi, shrimp tacos, or whatever else you ordered from Skip the Dishes that said “light and zesty.” Kim is our girl. No, not that one. We mean Kim Crawford.
Green apple, gooseberry, and zero shame
Mass-produced? Sure. Mass-enjoyed? Absolutely.
Clean AF
Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Your cheap Aunt brings this with her to family dinner every. single. time. Well, it slays. Not every bottle needs to be sustainably sourced and hand massaged by monks. Sometimes you just need to get the job done. Pairs with red meats, Costco rotisserie chicken and The Bachelor.
Hella good price for the quality
Balanced with dark cherry notes
Final rose worthy
It’s a Negroni. In a can. You’re welcome. Sure, it's not stirred over hand-cut ice in a crystal coupe glass by a bartender with a perfectly coiffed moustache. But it slaps. Pair it with cured meats and a slab of hard cheese or, if you’re Caty, Lay’s Originals and a string cheese.
Tastes like you made an effort
Fits in a cooler, fanny pack or coat pocket
A case of these > a bar tab
We had a fantastic WebSummit in Vancouver. Thanks to everyone who came by our booth to say hi! Missed it? All good. We’re hitting the road this fall and will be in a city near you. Stay tuned.
Cheers!
