Discovered this last night while running around getting groceries. Now, I’m sure this kind of thing has been around before this brand, or some variation of it.
The fun thing was, in taste-testing it, I expected something like grape sorbet, or maybe just something wine-tasting. How good could that be? But no. There’s a reason you had to be 21 or older to even be given a spoon. Even with 3.5% alcohol in it, you could taste and smell the real wine that had gone into it. The flavors were distinct, and everyone gravitated from their favorite bottle names to their favorite pints.
They have a Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Champagne, Zinfandel, Merlot, and a few others. They even date the pints according to year.
You aren’t going to feel anything from a pint of this, realize. Maybe if you spooned down a gallon by yourself on an empty stomach, you might get a tingle. But it still tastes pretty good. Maybe a pint of this would be a great way to celebrate finishing a manuscript? I’m sure you can come up with the proper occasion to pop the lid, instead of the cork.
I see that smile.
