Tonight's pick for Jersey Shore SIP.WATCH.TWEET™ is Circus '03 Shiraz-Cabernet

 "Bear In a Circus" SIP. WATCH. TWEET™



Bear in a circus OR Ronnie on a bike?



FINALLY! A smile from "Lonely Ronnie"! Mike "The Situation" buys PaulyD a mini-motorbike for his birthday and ends up being a welcome delight for RONNIE. When Ronnie rides the bike PaulyD calls out to him "...ya big basterd!" and says to the camera, "It's so funny seeing Ronnie's big a_s riding, he looks like a bear in a circus." Sneak Peek of TONIGHT's Jersey Shore

Tonight's wine selection is dedicated to Ronnie. Circus '03 Shiraz-Cabernet is as big as Ronnie looks like on Pauly D's mini-motorbike. The color is dark and ominmous, extremely dark raspberry and violet mix. It looks black in the bottle and not that much lighter in your glass. The aroma is ripe with summer dark berries; blackberry, bosenberry and loganberry with a small hint of white pepper spice on the back end. The flavor is intensely fruit-forward and in your face. Kind of like the entire cast of Jersey Shore [which is why we love them!]. Plum, black elderberry and black currents flood your tastebuds. The mouthfeel is round and ripe, the finish is long and ends with a sweet oak, slightly acidic kick.

Tonight's SIPWATCHTWEET™ Wine is 

Terrabianca '07 Chianti Classico 

"I love Single Sammi!"-Snooki and Deena ...On again fight again. Off again cry again. On again scream again. Off again? Who isn't sick of the Ronnie/Sammi relationship drama. Well cork a bottle of Chianti, pour a glass then, SIP. WATCH. TWEET™ along with me and watch some Trashtastic Reality TV! 

This isn't the generic straw covered bottle of Italian red table wine. Terrabianca Vineyards are located in the middle of Tuscany, right in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Their Chianti is made of mostly Sangiovese with just enough Canaiolo to build a structure. The color is a bright, cherry-clear red with a body that's similar to Snooki; light but compact. The nose is berry luscious with raspberries and blueberries. The Terrabianca Chianti boasts flavors of berries as well except much more tart than it's fragrance. A little heavier than a light bodied wine it has a fruity crisp mouth feel and boysenberry finish.  

Jersey Shore is on MTV [channel 331 on Direct TV] tonight and every Thursday 7p/EST

If you're watching from New York's Upper West Side you can pick up a bottle of Terrabianca '07 Chianti Classico at 67 Wine 67Wine.com.
