If you’re looking for the perfect Olivia Pope wine without the $500 price tag, look no further. Ménage à Trois California Red blend will pair just fine with your bowl of popcorn and Netflix rom-com.
Sometimes your Friday nights, or week nights (no judgement), will consist of you watching Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman in Kate & Leopold by yourself. It’s ok girl, this wine will keep you company.
Sometimes I think I’m slowly becoming a wine connoisseur since I’ve been on all of three wine tours in three different countries. I know, hella posh. Plus I’ve been transitioning. Not in the Bruce to Caitlyn kind of way, but in the whites to reds kind of way. Instinctively, this means that I gravitate towards sweeter reds that aren’t too “full bodied” and have less tannins. So, if you’re looking for an easy-drinking red that’s totally acceptable to guzzle, try Ménage à Trois’ California Red.
This is where I feed you some bullshit about it tasting like blackberry and raspberry jam (because that’s what it says on their website), but we all know that wine simply tastes like wine, smells like wine, and looks like wine. It includes three different grapes — Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Wow, la-di-da. This wasn’t the selling feature for me. Who actually reads past the label and onto the back of the bottle anyways?
Let’s just say that after a bottle or two of this fine wine, you’ll be fantasizing about yourself in between Kate & Leopold or between Kerry Washington and the President. And if not, at least you can comfort your damaged soul by double-fisting in the classiest of ways in you
