You were spot on, with the nose and flavors found in this odd wine.
I happened to pick this one up on a whim at my local store today, then googled it, finding this review.
It may be an oddball blend, but I find I am truly enjoying this bottle of wine.
Glad I bought two

Ben – I hope the DM gave the halfling a bag of holding for all his Baby Ruths, not to mention One-Eyed Willie’s treasure!

Josh – I’m not buying it. I’m betting you were a Lawful Good Paladin wielding a +5 Holy Avenger.

That was absolutely hilarious.

I caught an unrelated bit of D&D humor the other day in a random forum. A DM got tired of his players rolling the same boring characters, so he modified each character before the game started. The guy playing a halfling got the following change: “You’re 11 years old, overweight, and your racial ability is Truffle Shuffle.”

Man Jim, You’ve got me pegged.

Sweet, I’m looking forward to checking out the upcoming oddballs.

Boy, you two sure are geeks. I’ve never even seen a game of D&D

Jim it does seem like this was a pairing for novelty sake more than anything. 85% Petite Sirah – sounds like the Verdot was added for some muscle.

I look forward to the Rep of GA post! Should be a fun one

You were a half-elf ranger/illusionist weren’t you, Ben?

Glad you like the Oddball series. It’s fun for me, too. Stay tuned, I’ve got some doozies in the pipeline: unpronounceable Georgian grapes (as in Republic of Georgia, not the Peach State), old-vines Carignan from Chile, Mencia from Ribeira Sacra, etc.

What? Who told that I played D&D…, oh wait, nobody did. Nevermind.

I’ve seen this wine before and been curious about it. Sounds like it might be worth a try. Definitely seems like a bit of an oddball wine. I love this feature of the blog. Reading about some really fun wines that you don’t hear much about.
