I suggest kickin the festivities off with the Black Box Pinot Noir, an extremely easy drinking wine that’s light, smooth and can be swallowed in rapid mass quantities to get you to that drunken Mick state you’ve been dreaming of since it turned March.
The geniusness of this stuff lies in its quality and quantity. Everybody should have one type of Black Box constantly on tap or stashed away for days like this. Its also extremely portable….very sneakable into any of the packed establishments today. While out, I’d have no problem taking the Pepsi challenge with that 6th green beer you’ve already had from those overly used bar taps. It’d also actually pair quite well with that corned beef and cabbage you’re probably going for tonight. Pinot Noir is perfect for lighter red meat and its fresh acidity will go nicely with that cabbage.
I may be an asshole for pushing wine on St. Patty’s Day, but lets face it, today is pretty much about getting shitty and in your quest for the toilet later you may as well mix things up and wash that Jamo down with a fruity light red wine.
Goes with: corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, Jameson, Guinness.
