Fortunate Son (Hundred Acre)

Anyone else get this email?
A whole lot of words and not a lot of facts about the wine. I’m definitely interested but I have no idea what exactly I’m buying.

Help!?!

Visions of “The Todd” rolleyes

Ya I’m curious about this…

That trash reads like it was written by a frustrated teenager with a simpleton’s understanding of history, a lust for shitty fantasy novels, a hard-on for Ayn Rand, and grades that always fail to meet his parent’s expectations but only because his stupid teacher doesn’t understand his brilliance.

I gagged reading those almost as much as I tend to gag on his 15.9% cabs.

Anyone know where he sources his wine for this project?

I have no idea what the wines are like but that marketing material is cringe-worthy.

Unsubscribed from that mailing list a few years ago and somehow received that email as well.

Hundred Acre is my least favorite of the cult Napa labels. I genuinely do not understand why the wines are so popular.

I’m pretty sure having Rob Gronkowski drinking a bottle during the last Patriots superbowl victory parade didn’t hurt.

But I am with you.

Gronk is just about the most fitting person possible to be drinking a bottle of hundred acre during a superbowl victory parade. Just screams high class refined cabernet sauvignon, doesn’t it.

Everytime I’ve had HA the phrase hot mess comes to mind

I’ll try my hand at translation:

The Dreamer: This is pretty much bulk wine. I’m struggling to tell you why it’s expensive so just imagine yourself being a supervillain, you mental midget. In conclusion, this is like a train that can fly.

The Diplomat: These are the extra barrels that weren’t good enough. There are literally millions of things we could have called this wine but because we couldn’t call it something that was already taken, here goes a rant. You’ve heard of Winston Churchill, right? Very horny guy. Very drunk guy too. That could be you. Money please.

The Warrior: First off, can I get a “America, F*ck Yeah” chant going? This is a garden variety oak monster that will make you question whether or not there is a God. Make sure you log out of Facebook before drinking this because you are about to say some seriously seditious shit. When you drink this wine, your penis will keep growing until you have to wrap it around your waist like a belt. Drinking this wine will guarantee you a life sentence in prison.

Limited to the first however many rubes we can fool

Oh god, the Todd…

I used to be a manager at a wine shop, and once to start his tasting he walked in the door and proclaimed at the top of his voice:

“NORTH CAROLINA! YOU FU**ERS DRINK A LOT OF WINE!”

I told that story to the bartender at Cole’s Chop house in Napa, and The Todd literally walked in the door about 30 seconds later. We were both flabbergasted.

Me: Has never bought HA and unsubbed from the email list years ago.
Jayson: HI BEST FRIEND HUGE HUNDRED ACRE FAN HAVE I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

I was thinking of buying a bottle just to try it - after looking at the website and this thread I just can’t pull the trigger. Curious if anyone has any experience tasting these wines?

Not the latest vintages, but I found these to be underwhelming and overpriced when tasted a few years ago.

This is a really good winery and is run by a husband a wife but this blurb is stupid.
