Eight Tiny Reindeer Winery
Comet & Cupid California Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
The fall months are extremely frantic at the North Pole. Not only is Santa getting ready for Christmas but it's also the time he harvests and makes his wine for next Christmas. This year he is especially excited because the grapes came from vineyards that Comet and Cupid particularly seemed to enjoy. All summer long The Eight Tiny Reindeer watch and wait for the grapes to grow to their optimum maturity. Santa knows that when his reindeer are smiling it's time to pick the grapes. It seems that happy reindeer make really good wine!

Oye vey!!! Ok....got this guy on a lark because a woman who is a way bigger fan of reindeer than a connoisseur of wine loved the bottle. "It's christmassy" she says...so despite my reservations and serious distrust and floating gently on the total wine cashiers recommendation it was "good". I plopped down my 7 bucks!!! So...smells like plums and blackberries and something medicinal.. first hit to the palette is straight up plumy jam and not the nice kind you spread on toast..the wierd sickening sweet kind... followed immediately by a cough syrupy back palette which to my horror is an insanely long finish. If possible skip Christmas on this one...you will thank me for it...bah humbug!!!
