WTF is this wine? I don’t know what it is, I don’t know where it came from (though I suspect it arrived during our fourth of July party). From Oreana Winery in California, it is simple labeled “?” The notes say it was an accident; lots 1203 and 419 were mistakenly combined and this wine resulted. But oh, what a happy accident it is.
This wine is probably not for wine connoisseurs, but it works for me. Having given birth three months ago, I spent most of this past year not drinking. Before that, I wasn’t really a huge wine drinker — I found myself moving away from reds and gravitating towards whites (still loving the green, though). I find that ? has a very gentle flavor for a red. A bit of that characteristic bite, but not so intense or mouth-puckering as some, and feels less acidic on the stomach. So far, I have found it to go well with late-night popcorn, a tempeh burrito bol, and solo parenting (as seen in the picture).
If you want to drink some wine, but you don’t want to have the whole experience of drinking wine, check out this one. It’s unassuming, it’s pleasant, and it’s a satisfactory accompaniment to any experience.

By total happenstance (during the process of migrating my feeds away from bloglines to another RSS reader) I stumbled across this post again, and thought I would mention I saw this wine for sale at my local Trader Joe wine store. Let me know if you are still trying to research it, I can try to take a picture of the product label on the shelf next time I am there.
