Turns out they taste pretty great too. Low acid fruit and light chocolate notes for sure. They say milk chocolate, vanilla, dark cherry. I’m not sure I get the vanilla but the other two are pretty spot on. These will eventually get a bean review post too, but that may take me a while.

    Last time I tried going with ugly labels at total wine I went 0/3. Boring labels are usually OK but I usually scan them with vivino.

    Cool labels are usually meh but I found a few that are pretty good and not so expensive

      Well just for fun here’s a random very good wine picked from my cellar tracker with a boring ass label. L

      Label shopping is a last resort if you end up in a shop with unknowledgable staff. Typically I just name a varietal and a max price point and let a good wine shop employee show me their recommendation. Rarely go wrong with that.
