El Bloggo Torcido - Twisted Oak Winery

Potty Mouth Reds

Last weekend I poured several Twisted Oak wines at the Lee's Wine Experience tasting and charity event in Las Vegas. These Twisted wines of which I was pouting are available at the various Lee's Liquors locations throughout the greater Las Vegas megalopolis (I think there are something like 14 of them now!), including our popular *%#&@! red Rhone blend.
Since the good folks at Lee's didn't quite know how to handle *%#&@! in their computer systems (a not uncommon problem, probably somewhat related to why Prince is known as Prince again), they decided to run with "Potty Mouth Red". The woman in the first picture there to the right came up to the table, so I asked if she would like some Potty Mouth Red. She replied "That's Me! Potty Mouth Red!"
Pretty soon I realized that there were Potty Mouth Reds running around everywhere, from Strawberry to Henna. They were *%#&@!-ing everywhere! It occurs to me that many or even most of you who check out this blog with any frequency must either be a Potty Mouth Red, or you have a Potty Mouth Red in your life. If you do, send me a picture of them being Twisted in some way and I'll post the best ones I get! Or, how about a poll?!

A Library Extravaganza!

We've got another library event under our belts, and it was a great one! Those who were not absent enjoyed 2004 Viognier, 2003 Tempranillo, 2002 Murgatroyd, 2002 Ferriere and Tanners Syrahs, and 2002 Petite Sirah.

I do want to especially mention the fine work done by Wren Creative Food on the killer pairings with the wines! (pictured: mmmmmmanchego!) Jennifer also came up with great pizza, lamb meatballs, and brownies!

Other than that, enjoy the pictures!!
