The Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie (Stacy Ferguson) makes wine with her father, called Ferguson Crest. Here’s a video review of their red wine blend, called Fergalicious. Please note that I was only drunk for the second half of the video. I don’t have an excuse for the first half.

When I went back home to Orlando, my parents gave me some red wine. It’s interesting drinking around my parents these past few years, because I didn’t start drinking until I moved to NYC. So it’s pretty new drinking around them. My mom constantly warns me not to drink all the time. So it’s funny when she poured me a little wine and then asked if I wanted gin in it. Not ordinary gin, but Beefeater gin my parents infused with Ginseng for around 10 years and then put into a Smuckers jar of raisins for a few months.
It was actually pretty good. Made it a little sweet and stronger. My mom just put a small teaspoon and gave me a couple of raisins.
My mom says this is good for arthritis because the ginseng helps blood circulation. Maybe so. Look at what she’s doing with this sword!
I was thinking of chugging a Four Loco before seeing The Social Network, but instead Yasmin and I went to The Cottage for bad Chinese food and free unlimited cheap wine. The food actually ain’t that bad. The restaurant just looks fancy for what the food is. The House Duck dish ($11.25) was okay. The Singapore (Mei Fun) Rice Noodles ($6.95) was fine after some spicy chili sauce. The free wine can get you buzzed.
This the second time I’ve been here. I’m thinking it’s best to stick to a Chinese noodle. Affordable sit-down restaurant near Union Square with unlimited free wine was much wiser than chugging a Four Loco.
