Zeppelin Winery Colossus Cab Combo (2)

Monday, September 17, 2012

You know that one friend? That one friend who loves to make the most terrible puns? We know it’s a gentleman friend, because that’s just how puns work. So here’s your chance to finally show him up in a single sentence: “Can I get you a cab, syrah?”

Now, don’t think you’re wasting money on a joke or anything. These two wines are delicious, and are worthy additions to any wine rack out there. The 2011 Colossus Syrah is a raspberry explosion that was bottled at just the correct time, and the 2010 Zeppelin Winery Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon begins with cherries and ends with spices and clove. The very thing you’ll enjoy as the winter months begin to move in and your palate craves something dark and fruity.

But, again, you’re not just ordering it for the taste. You’re ordering it so you can finally bring that jerkface to his knees. Remember the time he saw a bicycle against a fence and said “That can’t run because it’s two-tired!” Or the time he saw a chicken walking and called it “poultry in motion” and made your little sister cry? Face it, he deserves the pun slam. And then you can drink a celebration toast to yourself.
