Wine bottles
Wow, two posts in a day, and neither one a meme? That's gotta be a record for me... I think I average one every 5 months.
So, yeah, I admit it. We lived one valley over from Napa for years... we now live not to far outside the start of the Livermore wine country. We've tasted probably hundreds of wines.
So how do we pick our wine when we are at the store? Do we check Wine Spectator reviews? Nope.
Do we look at the Wilfred Wong, the BevMo shill's rating? Nope.
We tend to buy because of the funny name or purty pictures on the bottle.
By now, everyone has seen the Vampire Merlot, and some people are familiar with Werewolf wines. At Cost Plus a few weeks ago, we saw these.
How were they? Eh... the Chard tasted more like a Sauvignon blanc than a Chardonnay. The Zin was too sweet & cloying. Maybe just a hint of zombified grape?
The labels were pretty cool though.
