Badass Wines

If you think you're a badass, these wines are for you

Just an Ass

Even badassery has its limits, and the imaginary yellow line stops just short of Dictator wines. You can take your pick, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, they’re all well represented in the wine world, but bringing one of these wines strips you of your badass rank.

You’ll just be another sad sack falling for some marketing gimmick used to peddle bad wine. You won’t be a badass anymore, just a schlub serving bad wines to your former friends. Take my advice, quickly ditch the Dictator and break out another Ménage a Trois.

I mean, seriously, is there any argument against this?

I tend to agree with the "Just An Ass" wines, except that Che wasn't a dictator.

Snake and Scorpion rice wine! Don't drink too much of it even though you're a badass! Taste awful!

Hey Fellows, In the late sixties, college time, I use to take one of my girlsfriends out to a small water hole on the golf course, when the moon was full, with a bottle or two of Saumur Champagne and Practice my French. Now that was Bad Ass with Bad Ass wine according to the rumors in school.

Bad Ass??... My favorite red...100% Tannat. Hard to find in the U.S., from Uruguay (for example, 6to Sentido - 6th Sense) and also some quality examples offered from neighboring Argentina (Finca Las Moras). Luckly, I have access to it through wine stores in next door Mexico (SD-TJ area). Simply the darkest ink well expression of the fruit in a glass ever and head & shoulders above CabSav. Although the varietal name Tannat refers to its tannins, in mexican spanish, the word is very similar to "tanates", which is the equivalent of "cojones". How bad ass is that? Try it, you'll like it. Plus, it is the best wine to drink for "healthful" reasons.
