Can we speak for a minute about bottle shapes and sizes? Most wines come
in a standard Burgundy or Bordeaux bottles (the skinny ones or the fat
ones) and for good reason...wines in odd shaped bottles are a pain in
the rear end. They cost more to ship, they cost more to label, they cost
more to produce - they usually are nothing but trouble. That is why
when I see a bottle of wine in some odd shaped glass, I know the person
in charge is serious about their vino. It just takes a little more TLC.
So when someone dropped this wine off, and told us the price, we were
intrigued. 10 bones and in a weird looking bottle? How could this be?
After the first taste it was go time - we ordered it last Friday and
without even sending out a newsletter, all three stores sold out of
their initial drop. We knew we were onto something.
This wine, mostly Grenache with a chunk of Syrah and some Mourvedre, is a
product of a well-known Burgundian negociant. It is soft and
immediately drinkable; indeed, it drinks best at a certain velocity, if
you catch our drift. There is nothing not to like. The bottle is
awesome, the price is right and the juice is loose (sorry, but we had
to...)
So let's celebrate spring break like it's 1996 with some much better libations.
