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!

[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!

These would be fun gifts too! I know my friends would laugh and roll their eyes

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.

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!

Nanci, the review you posted was for the Red Bicyclette, correct? Do you have one for the Cycles Gladiator? They have that at the grocery I go to. I have been tempted to buy it, but resisted for fear that I wouldn't like the wine. I guess I'm less of a dork (or just poorer

) than some, and don't want to spend $10 on a bottle because it has the Cycles Gladiator picture on it

.

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.

**GLC1968** · 08-23-2006, 08:26 AM

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.

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!

**Tuckervill** · 08-23-2006, 01:22 PM

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.

HA! I bought the exact same bottle for the exact same reason about 2 monhts ago!

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!!!!

Thank you all for heads up! Now if I can just make my hubby a believer!

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.

Hey, did you guys see this? La Biciclette Du Vin

Cha-ching....

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.

**BikeMomma** · 08-24-2006, 08:25 AM

That bike belonged to a very TALL person........

**Ninabike** · 08-24-2006, 10:17 AM

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.
