I've noticed a lot of weird-wine-titles lately, like "three stuffed llamas" and things like that.
I've had Red Bicyclette three o fourimes - but I'm no reviewer. It's just wine to me :=)

Thanks to each of you for assuring me I'm not alone! Nerds and Dorks Unite! :D :p
[QUOTE=mimitabby]i saw that wine too, (What's this got to be with being a nerd?)

mimi... the nerdy part is buying a wine JUST because there's a bicycle on the front. (But, it was also just kinda meant to be a joke...)
Snap... gonna have to find the Cycles Gladiator now! LOL... when I polish off the RedBicyclette I'll save the bottle as a bud vase... can put cut roses in it! :D These would be fun gifts too! I know my friends would laugh and roll their eyes :D
The wine was actually quite good! I had snapper, fresh veggies and a fresh steamed yam for dinner... the wine was perfect with it. I'll be buying it again... and not just for the label... LOL.
What a darling web site! I'll have to look for the wine next time I'm in a grocery store (hubby does most of the shopping as he's retired)...but I'm the wine drinker. :D

Hey, somewhere I saw a thing that you can stick in the top of an empty wine bottle that turns it into a candelabra. That'd be a great use for the empty Red Bicyclette bottles!Quote:

I guess I'm less of a dork (or just poorer :o ) than some, and don't want to spend $10 on a bottle because it has the Cycles Gladiator picture on it :p.
I must say my nearly 3 yo grandson liked the red bicyclette website. He kept wanting me to go back "outside grandma" to watch the animation, and he really liked watching the dog chase the bike LOL.:D
OK, count me in as a SUPER Dork...
I had to stop at the grocery store on the way home yesterday, so I checked and found both wines! I bought the Red Bicyclette in the Chardonnay and the Cycles Gladiator in the Cabernet Savignon. :o
The good news is that the Red Bicyclette Chardonnay is quite good. On the dry side...but still a bit fruity, with a strong flavor. I had it with chicken and bean chili and crusty bread and it held up well!
The bad news is that now my husband thinks I'm crazy! :p
HA! I bought the exact same bottle for the exact same reason about 2 monhts ago!Quote:
But lo and behold... there it was... RED BICYCLETTE...
I had to have it... it was wine with a picture of a bicycle on the front. Sigh.

I competed in the 24 Hours of Adrenaline race this past weekend and stayed at a friend's house afterwards.
She bought me a bottle of that wine to celebrate the race, specifically because of its name.
Sadly, I was so tired I could barely drink any but what few sips I did have, it was quite enjoyable.
Ok in my world that's just plain sacrilegious!!!!!!!!! I LOVE wine and the redder and dryer the better. Trying to get healthy and fit in the biking world I don't drink near as much as I used to (1 bottle every 2-3 weeks now versus 4-5 bottles a week then) but now I have a reason to buy wine again!!!!Quote:

To all the wine lovers on the forum, I apologize profusely for the waste of perfectly good vino. I suppose to my credit, I DID try it before I poured it down the drain.....and didn't like it. No one else in the house drinks wine, so down the drain it went.Quote:

Not MY bike as I don't drink wine (or much of anything alcoholic period) this was the scene coming from a winery getting ready to head back to campground on a recent ride. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...derinGenoa.jpg
That bike belonged to a very TALL person........
A friend gave me a bottle a couple of years ago and now, when I see it, I usualy buy it. It does come in a Chardonnay and the price is right.
