After a day of “antique-ing”… and buying some weird but funky things for my house, I stopped at a local liqueur shop for a bottle of wine to relax with!….. ohhh.. did I find a FUN wine! I have not seen this one before, but for some reason, it just called to me!!
BITCH
South Australia Grenache, 2006
R Wines
Imported by: The Grateful Palate Imports
Great fun / bottle and wine for the price — under $11 a bottle!
….. this is a fabulous red wine …. and although Robert Parker I’m not… I agree with him … this is a good wine and I have enjoyed every sip! It is tart and dry, so if you like sweet wines.. this is not for you! My suggestion if you don’t like this dry wine … pour a little white soda with it, drink up and join the rest of us in enjoying this wine!
This wine does NOT come with a real cork … that’s just my personal little “issue” — However, with a wine name like this — wouldn’t you expect a “screw” top and not a cork anyway??
What a great label! I did a little research on Dan Philips… (the genius importer of this wine) …it’s all on the site and I highly recommend the read! I’m impressed with Dan’s background! If this Bitch wine is his insight … I’m gonna be watching him!! Looks like they have a new wine coming out soon called Evil Incarnate… CAN’T WAIT!!! Thank you Dan!
I LOVE the fact that he was in the April Playboy Magazine!
So … my recommendation… it’s Bitchin’!!! Try a little and at the very least — -take this to your next “bitch session”! I see this as a great Christmas gift this year… of course only for those girlfriends who have a sense of humor and realize that being a BITCH is a great compliment!
Cheers to the Bitch!~
