Tonights' episode is entitled: "Grenade Whistle". The title alone is freaking hilarious and couple that with the sneak peak MTV teases our Trash-tast-tic* reality show funny bone with makes me as giddy as a big-haired-gum-popping-long-fingernail-wearing-Jersey-school girl around Pauly D!

What we're drinking this #SipWatchTweet™
I decided to go with the Monastrell because much like the Jersey Shore reality show itself--people think they are too good, too educated, too worldly, too_____ for it. But you sip [watch] it once, you'll come back for more when you're in the mood to be entertained on the cheap. If you are unfamiliar with Monastrell and have had Mourvèdre you've had Monastrell. If you haven't had either and you are a red wine fan why not start tonight?
The Bodegas Sierra Salinas Monastrell's color is as dark as Snooki after a spray tan and bronzer. But in lieu of burnt orange it's dark violet with tints of deep garnet. The aroma is a deceitful blend of juicy dark, ripe fruits. I say deceitful because upon your first swirl and sip flavors of mocha and leather flood across your palate. I wouldn't call it a 3 dimensional wine-meaning it doesn't show off a lot of layers but the mouth feel is robust with culinary spices and finishes pleasantly.
So pick up a bottle of MO Monastrell, log in to Twitter, turn on MTV, hang with Pauly D, Vinny, Snooki, The Situation, JWWow, Diana, Ronnie and SIP. WATCH. TWEET.™
