WTN: Do Epic Shit

Yes, that's the name of the wine. 2021 Do Epic Shit, Paso Robles, Red Blend, Browne Family Winery

Last night we had to miss a neighborhood wine gathering and friends who brought this bottle were so in love with it they dropped off the last glass for us to admire. The winery is Browne, a Washington state winery not known to work outside the Columbia Valley and maker of heavy, low acid, modern wines (of the type everybody on this forum dislikes), so I'm guessing this California red blend was purchased bulk juice. The wine was soft with savory notes and baked red fruits, tasting of a little more age than is actually here and not at all ripe and heavy as are most Paso wines.

What I believe they're doing here, and it will work, is appealing to people who like snarky messaging on their wine labels. The stage has already been set for this kind of thing here in PNW by BC's Church & State Winery who bottle under a plethora of snarky message labels. I've even bought one or two myself for giftees who have more appetite for jokes than serious wine.

Anyway, not a useful note for anyone I realize--but could I pass up an opportunity to write a TN titled Do Epic Shit? No, no way.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov

At least the wine wasn’t an epic fail!
