Marketing is a bizarre menagerie of ... of Kangaroo Ground (Oz) --Tall Poppy Wines (Oz, maybe even the movie version--wonder if you nod off after drinking) --Megalomaniac Wine (Ontario, with offerings like Narcissist Riesling, My Way Chardonnay, Pink Slip Pinot Noir Rose, Bravado Cabernet Sauvignon, SonOfaBitch and Doggone SonOfaBitch Pinot Noir, Vainglorious Cabernet Merlot, Bigmouth Merlot, and Coldhearted Cabernet Franc Icewine) --Stompytoe from Senile Farms Winery (Arkansas) --Vino El Pavo Substandard American Grape Wine (Florida ; pavo is 'turkey' in Spanish; 'certified color added, 16% alcohol by volume') --Big Ass RED Tablewine (Hopland, CA) --Moral Compass (Napa; kinda like this one ;-) ) --Oops ('cheeky little red, lost grape of Bordeaux discovered in Chile masquerading as a Merlot') --Recall Red (Mendocino; came out shortly after Schwartzenegger became governor) --Harper Hill White Trash White (chardonnay from Bakersfield...) --Redneck Red (also Bakersfield) --Hair of the Dingo (semillon/chardonnay from Oz) --Flying Pig (Sicily; 'We think you stand more chance of seeing a flying pig than a better wine at this price') --'YN' (CA) --Sonoma Beach Zinfandel (Stu Pedasso Cellars) --Coat Roti (South Africa, with a picture of a leaping goat on the label) OK, enough frivolous use of time for me for now. Plenty more out there, though. Maybe some from the Western Cape of South Africa, next time I post...
