I was at the grocery store tonight. Went to the wine section to find a nice bottle to have a glass with dinner.

Normally I enjoy Clos du Bois Chardonnay... not expensive and enjoy the flavor.

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.

Yep, a nerd. Woe is me...

I think that's cute.

Your next wine assignment is to find this:

I've tried the cabernet and the syrah, liked 'em both. The Pinot Grigio got excellent reviews.

Was it good?

Hey, who you calling a nerd, sistuh?

For those who'd like to know, Red Bicyclette is available such fine establishments as Cost Plus World Market.

**BikeMomma** · 08-21-2006, 11:16 PM

Heh!! I did the exact same thing a couple years ago! Saw the bottle and bought it, not caring a bit about drinking the wine inside. I bought two different kinds, in fact. Still have the bottles, but poured the wine out (at that time, I didn't care about trying wines). They're sitting on display on top of my tower wine rack.

So if you're a nerd, I'm a bigger dork.

*waving hand* Another bike nerd, here. I did the same thing not too long ago--bought the bottle of Red Bicyclette because of its cute label. Oh yeah, the wine wasn't too bad either--a little on the sweetish side maybe, but not bad. But that's not why I bought it, is it?

Now I have to go looking for that one Snapdragen showed us. *sigh* It's such a hard life--hunting down bicycle-labeled wines.

Please review the wine! I see it all the time. Ooh, it's from France. Wine Enthusiast rates the 2003 an 85. A light, fresh Chardonnay with minimal barrel influence (yay!!), the debut vintage boasts ample pear and citrus flavors, a stony minerality and hints of roasted nuts. At its commonly offered retail price of $10, this would be a Best Buy.

And just so the beer drinkers don't feel left out, we have Fat Tire to drink!

I've seen the Red Bicyclette wine as well...but only in the Merlot and I'm not a merlot fan. I'll have to look for the Chardonnay.

If you haven't seen it...check out their website...it's adorable!

I've been dying to try this wine too! Though I'm not really a wine drinker . . . but my bike is red and the bottle is so pretty.

**SalsaMTB** · 08-22-2006, 06:07 AM

Dh and I bought this wine a while ago because of the label, which honestly is how we always buy our wine

We've also given it as part of a house warming or hosting gift to a few people.

**mimitabby** · 08-22-2006, 06:11 AM

i saw that wine too, (What's this got to be with being a nerd?)
but neither of us drink so i did'nt buy it.

**Cassandra_Cain** · 08-22-2006, 07:14 AM

Nerd? I like to describe myself more as being a dork. Be it for wine, biking, reading, music, or fine dining.

Be proud :P

If nothing else, the bottle is cute.

Now I need to go look for this wine.
