that stain down the front of the label was just one of many that i spent 20 minutes combating shortly after opening this wine - on pulling out the cork there was such a backsplash that the wine stained my shirt, the kitchen counter, the half open drawer where the opener had just been and 50 other implements that are typically in there with it. i made a bottle of seltzer to pour over the stain which helped not at all. then i got out the charlie's soap and that made the stains darker as it typically does at first, but i thought scrubbing would help and it did not. so i poured the seltzer on top of the soapy mess and it possibly helped. who the fuck knows at this point, it's just hanging on my bathtub faucet drip-drip-dripping and i won't know how well the shirt will recover. the dishtowel i employed to clean the mess is an even sorrier sight.
the wine is pretty good. pretty full-bodied for such a light flavor. not too dry, not too fruity. as the label says: "bright and rich"
yeah - that sums it up nicely.
