Gladiator Biker Chick

Bookmark and Share


I bought this bottle of Cycles Gladiator solely because it was banned by Alabama. Banned in Alabama! Apparently the Alabama Beverage Control Board figured it was "pornographic." I think one would normally see more boob at a Super Bowl halftime show, but whatever. It's a nice table wine and they are getting a bunch of press, so good for them!

In honour of the artwork I took this pic in front of my super tough biker jacket. I do not own a motorcycle. I am not tough. I have no idea what the characters on the back say. Please don't write to me and tell me it says something like "The wearer of this jacket is a bonehead." It won't stop me from wearing it, but I firmly believe that ignorance is bliss with these kinds of things.

A Gold Medal White


I took this picture on Saturday... what a wicked day! John and I got back from this Organic Festival (which was not lame AT ALL) and then my neighbour started pouring us wine. How fantastic is that?

The dogs were chillin', we were gabbin'... life was good, lemme tell ya.

As most of you know and many of you have commented on, John and I are red drinkers, not white drinkers (that makes it seem like we are PROLIFIC drinkers... we aren't. Really. You know what I mean). In any case, we may become prolific drinkers because this wine called Barefoot, a Pinot Grigio from California rocked. As you can see, it won a Gold Medal so my review can't be that far off.

Overall Review: Thumbs Up (obviously)!

PS- And it's $9! Should I mention that? Seriously people, it is really very nice!
