Gack! A wine analogy to Rombauer Chardonnay!

WINE TALK

A wine retailer email from this morning:

“IT’S BACK! BUTTER JUICE LIKE ROMBAUER FOR HALF THE PRICE!”

Please make it stop…

What and where? While I am no fan of Rombauer, my wife and her friends are wild over Cougar Juice and if something for $15 can replicate that experience, so much the better.

Walter–You think I want to publicly encourage this? [g] Actually, the wine is $19, not exactly half of R. Chardonnay, but I’ll send you a PM anyway.

Come on Bruce! Give in to the power of the Cougar juice! It is one of the wines in my shop that I don’t have to “sell.” Ladies just bring it to the counter and I think to myself… “ah yes, the Rombauer.” And then I go back to talking about old-vine Carignan from the south of France and Nerello Mascalese from Sicily.

By the way, our Rombauer substitute for the “Cougar on a budget” is the Bridlewood Viognier at exactly half the price of the Rombauer Chard.

Today is my confession day it seems. [tease.gif]

Jeff—They say confession is good for the soul…

Just to be clear, I actually don’t have a problem with Rombauer Chardonnay. It’s not BAD wine. But I do have an issue with “butter juice”.
