This?
[Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc]
Is FOUL. Way too sweet. Possibly it tasted worse than it really was because we drank it after killing a bottle of Ruffino Orvieto Classico, which rocks. As Sue said, what did I expect? It has a monkey on the label. Monkeys don't know wine.
But we drank it anyway, because it was open.

Monkeys don't know jack about wine

Well, duh. Of course it's going to stink. Monkeys throw poo. Also, they've proven that animals on wine labels sell better.

So just slap a horse or a butterfly or a aardvaark on that $2 bottle of plonk, price it at $9, and your company shareholders are happy. And you're stuck drinking the stale of horses or, in this case, cappucine monkey whiz.
I want to see more wines with violent alcoholics on the label, like Lee Marvin or that Enron guy.
In my defense, I was at the store with the fam and Liam was going nuts. He's doing this new thing where he runs down the aisle raking boxes and cans off the shelves just to hear them drop. (I'll be SO glad when this phase is over!) So I couldn't spend much time. I just grabbed the cheapish bottle next to the other cheapish bottle that I do like.
See, I don't think that's a stage. I still run through the store throwing things on the floor, wile screaming, "Where's my HONEY?!?!?" You should try it sometime. You'd be surprised how fast the cashier checks your stuff out to get you out the door.
Maniacs always get the prompt service.
Maybe you and Liam could be a wrestling team. El Destructo and the Maniac.
Don't tell him, but my birthday present to him will be a Britney haircut and a big umbrella.
