White Wine, Red Wine, Blue Wine

     Have you taken a stroll through the wine section of a liquor store lately?  It's as much fun reading the names and appreciating the artwork on the labels as it is to consume the contents of the bottles.  One of my favorite names is Goats Do Roam.

 
 I also like the name Fat Bastard, but their label is boring.


     On the other hand, Il Bastardo has a funny name and an amusing label.  In the interest of gender equality, they offer La Bastarda as well.

 
     I recently attended a party where they served Culitos wine.

Well, culo means ass in Spanish, so this could be Little Asses Wine.  I prefer to call it Little Butts Wine.  This was a sweet wine, not Manischewitz sweet, but still sweet.    

     Culitos' plump butts are cute, maybe even cherubic.  There are other names and labels that are not so ... ahem ... palatable - wines named for body parts and body functions.  You might not want to offer them at your next party.  Leave Big Red Pecker on the shelf.



But do consider Middle Sister, Marilyn Merlot, Pinot Evil (ha, love the three monkeys on the label), or Mad Housewife.
