Fat Bastard Chardonnay. Hair of the Dingo. The Unpronounceable Grape.
All these wines – and 100-plus more – can be found in 'Marilyn Merlot and The Naked Grape', a celebration of the weirdest and wildest wines ever made.
Some have strange names, like Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush. Others have bizarre artwork, like the Magritte-inspired UFO invasion.
Still others have unusual production features (a Braille label for blind wine-lovers, or an on-label thermometer that alerts the user when the wine is properly chilled).
Along with brilliant full-colour reproductions of the original labels, we feature brief stories about the origins of the wines/names/artwork, as well as tasting notes from the author. Readers will learn about unusual vineyards (like Cleavage Creek, which donates its proceeds to breast cancer research) as well as some of the most innovative artists working in the wine label medium. Finally, there's an appendix of resources that will help you buy these wines so you can try them for yourself!
