NV Vv Boones Strawberry Hill 750 ml

• - November 22, 2002

  I live in Chicago, and this is great in a Big Gulp cup full of ice -- which goes perfectly with a big slice of Chicago Style pizza -- or if you prefer, straight out of the bottle with a group of your closest (and cleanest looking) friends to start off an evening of debauchery right! For the particularly adventurous, share your bottle with strangers at the bus/train stop, or try enhancing this elixer with the addition of Red Bull or a 1 to 1 mix with your favorite slurpee flavor. Country Kwencher is also great for this! As for flavor... Strawberry Hill has a very sweet and slightly acidic bite -- and sort of a preservative and sulfite afterburn if you will, with a very bright "berry" flavor and a slightly blush hue (courtesy of FD&C Red) -- and if you closed your eyes, you might think you're drinking a wine cooler -- but your intuition will tell you this is SO MUCH MORE! No chocolate, no earth. no leather or grape tones. It's just classic Boone's.

  My wife and and I and many of our friends often entertained in the Boston area in the 1970s. We weren't rich, but found that partying on "the cheap" was still a lot of fun. The wines of choice were Boone's Farm Apple Wine and Strawberry Hill, or Riunite Lambrusco or Rosato. They went with everything, and the flavors were always a hit. We just tried "The Farm" again after a long absence... still great! We should have stuck with it through the years. Now, where is there a good drive-in movie, a concert on The Common, or a folk song house like the Club 47??!
