I bought this wine at Trader Joe’s on a bizarre whim. You know when you watch the trailer of a particularly bad movie and think “that is going to insult my intelligence and taste, but it’ll be bad with such panache!” Well, I saw this label and had exactly that reaction. It was either done by someone’s twelve year old in Microsoft Paint, or someone’s 60 year old aunt, again in Microsoft Paint. And either way, I’m guessing it was started about fifteen minutes before it needed to be sent off to the printers. Anyway, long story short, the stuff was actually rather tasty for a cheap wine. I recommend it, but only if you don’t mind what feels like the oenophile version of parking a Camaro on your front lawn.
