Reality TV Wine Pairing

by whit on July 19, 2010

Hello. My name is Whitney.

And I watch The Bachelorette.

[shame. embarassment. guilt.]

Yes, it’s true people. I watch it. It gives me joy! Joy, I tell you. Why should I be ashamed of something that leaves me with such pure exhilaration and excitement each and every week? I know one other person that is just as obsessed with this season of The Bachelorette as I am. And her name is… Joy.  We usually text back and forth many, many (too many) times while both watching the episodes. She is actually dedicating a blog post to our Bachelorette viewing. So, we both watched it tonight and Skyped all our commentary from our respective couches like big nerds.

OK- so I thought I would dedicate a blog post to it as well. Only I would pair a wine with each of the final 3 dudes left. Because that is totally something I would do.

The Final 3 are…..

Roberto

OK… this guys oozes sex. And I’m pretty sure that is all Ali wants him for in the end. He’s a former pro baseball-er and from Florida. And he salsa dances…and speaks fluent Spanish. The dude is suave.  And, uh- he’s hot.

Pairing- Rioja. One that has a tiny bit too much American oak on it. Smells of leather (baseball mit) and coconut (Florida suntan.)

Frank


Big. fat. loser. I am so over him…especially after the crap he pulled on tonight’s episode. He’s from Chicago and working in retail while he lives with his parents to be able to live the dream of being a screenwriter. And now he’s leaving the show to go be with his ex who is just as annoying as him. Snoozefest.

Pairing- something that is a bit fashionable. But annoyingly so. I would say an Austrian gruner vetliner that’s organic and with a label printed with soy based inks… and tears.

Chris


Oh Chris….how I love thee, let me count the ways. He’s from Cape Cod, a landscaper and a sweetheart. Yes, he stumbles with his words sometimes but, he’s All-American handsome and a family man. And would be, like, the husband of your dreams Ali- wake up!

Pairing: It’s gonna have to be domestic. A California red that’s timeless and classic but easy and not fussy. One that will never do you wrong. And is made by a family. A pinot…no, a syrah (perhaps by Saarloos & Sons.)

OK- Bachelorette blogging now ends. I promise.

Bachelorette contestant wine pairings! Brilliant. This is one of the funnier things I’ve ever read, if only because I’m at least as obsessed with the joy that is this trashy show as you are. I’m also equally ashamed.

oh. my. god. Whit you have stooped to a new low. Although I have a thing for the Apprentice (the British one of course) so I shouldn’t talk. But still… ;-)

PS. Is that Molly’s dog you’re pet-sitting?
