Wine help please. Pretty lame,actually.
All I have in the house is this Pinot Noir that my cousins gave me. It SUCKS. I want to drink it anyway. Is there anything I can mix into it to make it more palatble?
I have:
Grape juice
Seltzer water
Chardonnay (just a very small amount)
Cranberry-Pomegranate juice
Grenadine

I know this is a crime. I don't care; I'd like to get a small buzz. I already finished off my good Cab.

Help?

Thanks!

1. Pinot Noir tends to be sweet.
I say go with the seltzer water, like a spritzer.

2. MMkay.
Trying now.


Eh. That lightened it up, but now I have bitter.

Trying with a bit of juice.


Okay, that's workable, I think.


Thanks!

3. go to your neighbor and borrow a cup (or two or the bottle) of vodka, then make a pinotini...
extra dry pinotini:

- 2 shots vodka.
- splash of shitty pinot noir.
- shake over ice, skip the olive

repeat until the pinot noir bottle is empty...
