So I thought this Mad Housewife wine would be good…
Have I mentioned that I am not a fan of California wine? Well I am but I am pretty loyal to wine out of Argentina and Chile. So much so that I freaked when the earthquake hit Chile back in 2010. Before you get your panties in a bunch I was worried about the people too.
Ripe cherries, mint, and mocha characterize this soft, beautiful expression of the grape. The bouquet offers an explosion of sweet preserves while the palate is delighted with the smooth, lush sensations of silky Cabernet.
My tush does it have a sweet bouquet and is smooth! As I sit here trying to compose my thoughts on this wine I fail to find any positives outside of the packaging. It is awful! So awful that I might just drink the whole bottle as I am sampling it trying to pick flavors and scents out for you.
My thoughts are…
- Very acidic.
- The finish is pretty bitter.
- The aroma (nose) is not rich and does not scream drink me!
- Even after sitting in the decanter it did not come around.
No, this isn’t a sponsored post because I bought the wine myself. I wish someone would pay me to drink wine! Hey all of you PR people… pick me, pick me!

You are too funny! I do like California wine but I don’t like Cabernet. I definitely will not be trying this one, even if the label is hilarious!

It’s one of the few shows I actually make time for-though I’m always a season behind because I watch it on Netflix 
and haha about the wine!

I have a bottle of this wine. I was given it as a gift about two years ago and it sits on my wine console in the basement. I probably won’t drink it now, BUT it’s a great conversation piece.

I agree on the conversation piece and the cork is one to show off.

Oh goodness I laughed so hard!
I’m not a drinker at all, but even that label would have me curious myself!
Man, I am jealous you got to watch White Collar. I Love that show. I usually watch one episode a night on netflix before going to bed. I missed it the last 2 nights.

Glad to have found another White Collar fan! The cork was just as fantastic as the bottle so I think I will buy the sweet red just for the funny cork. Marketing is an amazing thing.
