Last night someone gave me a bottle of "White Lie" early season Chardonnay. Supposedly this crap was made by women for women, low in calories, alcohol and carbs not to mention flavor. With a little research on the marketing behind this wine leads me to believe it was created by a bunch of Barbie's that weight 90 lbs. and spend their days with personal trainers.The label has a background of catch phrases like "it's not you it's me"," My hair is really this color" and the cork has equally lame phrases. The marketing claims it is aimed at the professional woman who likes a glass or 2 during the week but not a big fat ass or a hangover. Please! Give me a Gewurzt, a Viognier, anything with a little more going on and let some salad eater drink this crap.
Call me a big hedonistic pig! I'm damn proud of it even. When I want a little less alcohol I go German. Rieslings that are full of flavor and you can have a few more glasses .......
