Throw a Wine Tasting Party - Revisited

Well friends and strangers it has been a busy few weeks, but I'm happy to say I was able to have my fancy wine tasting party.

It was an evening of much cheap wine and sulfides.  Cheese in a can, and in a jar, fruit snacks and the piece de resistance, a Twinkie wiener sandwich.  But more on that later.

 Where

It was held where all fancy parties are held at an apartment complex clubhouse of course.  For a low price and some very threatening legal documents I was allowed to rent out my local clubhouse for the event.  I could have had it at my place, but I'm pretty sure my apartment has a maximum capacity of 3 people, 2 with a dog.  Also, I didn't really want to clean.

God damn, that's fancy

Who
It was a veritable who's who, of hat adventures past.  Drawers, and participators, Rich, the navigator from the Canadian Poutine Caper, was there.  Amy, the sweetest dance partner.  Jared, the gun range guru, my Nobel prize picture hunting partner, and so many more.

You know you have a solid group of friends when they agree to come to a party advertised for its horribleness.

What Part One:  The Wine, and Cheese

The wine selection was truly fantastic.  Here is just a sampling:

The only wine with an expiration date

The boys from it's always sunny were right, wine in a can will sweep the nation

A jug of Chablis

And of Course

The one and only

All of the wines were lovingly wrapped up, to not influence anyone's taste buds.

It's like a white trash wedding reception

In addition to the wine, a fine assortment of canned and jarred cheeses were served, along with a truly epic amount of fruit snacks.  I mean we had ninja turtle, justice league, and super Mario snacks.

Then we all played some games, games like guess which fruit snack is organic, or high in fiber.  Discuss which wine pairs best with which canned cheese.  And of course match the wrapped wine with it's clue.  Congratulations to Laura for winning that one.

What:  The Twinkie Wiener Sandwich

Now for the exciting part.  This party presented me with an opportunity to settle a bet I lost over a decade ago.  Without getting into details I owed someone a twinkie wiener sandwich eaten by me.  It has weighed heavily on my conscience, and in front of an audience larger than I liked I decided to make good.

But first what is a twinkie wiener sandwich?

It's glorious is what it is

 
Inspired by the wonderful UHF movie.  It is a twinkie cut in half to act like a hot dog bun.  It is a raw hot dog placed in the twinkie bun, and garnished with a layer of EZ Cheese.  Finally, you dip it in milk and enjoy.

Enjoyment Imminent

Enjoyment Achieved

There you have it.  Thanks to everyone for coming and helping me knock this one out.
