Here we have a fine (read: shitty) box (read: bag) of Franciscan burgundy, boxed (read: bagged) for Peller in San Fran; for Abbey in Truro, N.S., Winona, On., Kelowna, B.C., and de-boxed by Jesse Wilson and friends. Now I paraphrase for temporary substitute first time wine reviewing journalist and regular life-long dungeon master and super-hero animator Mr. Jesse Wilson (pictured next to me with a lovely [read: gross] fountain of said wine flowing down his non-professional yet experienced gullet).
Not all bad. Not overly bitter, nor sweet--which is good, but not quite as good as others. Metallic. Overall pretty good, mind you I'm hungry, it's late and I've been on a wine hiatus. (Here I offered jesse some brie for palate-ball. -ed.) Excellent! Life is good. Takes the edge off. (Then Jesse explained the drinking technique we see in the photo.) I like to drink it from a stream, after all Willy Wonka says chocolate tastes better when mixed by waterfall. Let it fill your mouth all the way before swallowing, I call it the "wine-stein". (HA HA! Now I offered sharp cheddar. -ed.) This cheese makes it brazen and crass.
There you have it. No rating. Not recommended, not discouraged. Somehow entirely enjoyed.

P.S. Sorry for the recent narcissistic run of self-portraits.

Ahhh Yes! This I find comforting!
This said "Goon Bag" is best enjoyed lying down. Less spill-age, no sit-up's involved, nor the need to refill.
Indeed, no need to head to bed either. You are already there!
mmm...
So i was thinking way back to September.
...Mr. Orange states (Boxed and Fine Blog)-- whoever buys/blogs the first boxed wine....gets to come over and drink wine at his house...
Now since Mr. Flareburn lives with the Orange. Who is next best in line for retrieving this consolation prize?
wango wondering
Formidable Floorburn! Yet again! But, with all due respect, might i be so bold as to point out the lack of Menderson (Menderson being the brethren-plural-form of Manhandlerson, Manhandlerson being the evolution of Manderson, being the pet name of Mr. Anderson) mention from yr review? A notable, note-worthy gathering of men at the tasting, neh?
Finally, the goon bag receives the accolades and attention it deserves. Finally, justice.
Thank you ashley for your comment and especially for supplying the 'goon bag'. as for your most serious concern, M. Orange, I thought I would brotect the innocent.
PS Brutal headache next day.
Also dressing like a bum is the professional standard for animators.
go kings go! (sorry, i don't have any spare change)
