A Monster of a Wine.


I confess, I cheated on this week's "Cheap Wine with a Pretty Label". 

  1. Didn't really drink it this week, actually drank it awhile ago and saved the bottle.
  2. In fact, I drank it so long ago that I no longer remember what it tasted like.  It must have been good.  I would have remembered if I didn't like it (this is really not helping my fantasy of being a world famous wine reviewer).
  3. I did not choose this bottle, this one was my husband's choice.  Frankly, I am a little afraid of this label.
So here it is (and I am sure the winemaker is thrilled of my mention so far.  Hopefully, they will never read this post.)



The Big Red Monster is a California Red Wine produced by Bennett Family Vineyards.  My husband bought it somewhere within a 10 mile radius of our house (just can't remember where) for under $10.  Definitely an original, reach out and grab you design.  It would be awesome at a Halloween party or while watching an old horror flick like "Godzilla" or "King Kong".   While I don't remember what I was doing when I drank this, I can guarantee you I was not watching a horror movie (those films absolutely terrify me).

Oh, and don't worry, I did consume wine this weekend.  Went back to my old favorite Pomelo again (can't get enough of that wine).  And also, I was joking about the fantasy wine reviewer thing.  Just not seeing that in my future, especially after this shameful post.

  1. LOL. I've totally seen that wine before! Maybe in Whole Foods' wine racks? Very cool!
