Better Than You’d Expect
Terribly delicious, that is! What, you thought only scary things were in cellars? Hey, come on. That’s outdated Victorian thinking! Don’t go all Freud on us here, okay? The truth is, cellars are a place where people hide cool stuff like knives and ghosts and illegal beer. Why, even the pyramids were just big cellars, and they were full of gold and kings! When you hear cellar, don’t think about some repressed English fuddy-duddy trying to keep the world from having fun. Think about the Gilbert Cellars 3 Pack. It’s full of great tasting joy and we think you’re gonna love it.
There’s a 2007 Allobroges with dark fruit and nuances of bacon. That’s right, Internet, we said bacon. Mix the spice with the smooth mouthfeel and you’ll be hiding in that cellar all day. C’mon, tornadoes! you say as you sprawl on the old couch with a good book.
And what about the 2007 Estate Syrah? Hickory smoke, cedar and blueberry open up to the taste of butterscotch, mocha and dark fruit. Think that’s scary? Maybe if you’re some other wine company worrying about lost profits. But for most of us, the meat-friendly Syrah is a good memory waiting to happen. Just like a cellar.
There’s no need to be scared just because it’s dark and unfinished. Dark and unfinished means character! Character full of black cherry, crushed herb, cleansing acidity and vanilla… yes, you guessed it, we’re talking about the 2008 Left Bank. Open it now and enjoy, or save it for a special occasion, we think you’ll be happy either way.
Because that’s what a cellar is really for. It’s not a place to hide the bodies. It’s some extra space you can use for the things you really love. Your drum set, a ping-pong table, storage for your Gilbert Cellars 3 Pack, a cellar isn’t for fear. It’s for love.
And also, black widows, so be sure to sweep up every now and then. Hey, it’s just part of life.
