Okay, you got me, I don’t know much about wine.
But I honestly thought “Hanna-Barbera” would be a great varietal.
Theresa I am so sorry, I thought tonight would be special and you’re right: I should’ve gotten the La Famiglia Snows Lake Vineyard Barbera 3-Pack. THAT would’ve gone great with pizza, roasted meats, grilled seafood, or even spaghetti. I bet you could enjoy a bottle now and even cellar one or two for later if you wanted! Man, that would’ve been a great wine to pick up. I really dropped the ball here.
We could’ve enjoyed a wine with a dark, complex nose full of black cherry, honey baked ham, and cigar. Cigar, honey! Soft tannins, sweet oak, man I bet that wine tastes amazing. And it’s so red! So very, very red.
This “Hanna-Barbera Fun Wine,” though, is a pretty disconcerting shade of teal.
Well, we may not have a bold, explosive red wine, but we’ve got a thin, sugary syrup with some old cartoon characters on the label. We can make the best of any situation, after all! That should count for something, right honey?
