Food Funnies

I actually own a bottle of 1987 Marilyn Merlot that I picked up sometime around 1988. It still has the $5.99 price sticker on it, and Playboy called it "the best full-bodied red from 1987"! (Yeah.) The Marilyn Wines people will happily sell you a bottle for $2000. Obviously this is for (possibly overly obsessive) collectors who need to complete their Marilyn lineup, They generally go for a fair amount less than that on Ebay, but I didn't see any from the 80's when I just did a quick look.

Given the apparent success of the Marilyn Wines, I think you're on to something here, Paul.

Marcel Meursault would of course be a white Burgundy going through a dumb stage.

OK, that one had my wife asking me what I was laughing about!

There is one called "If You See Kay" http://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2012/10/rude-wine-label-causing-trouble-in-us/

A zin from California called Stu Pedasso and a white from the same source called Rae-Jean Beach, Sassy Beach and Royal Beach from Chile, and Château D’Arse Fitou

This Fitou is made up of 45% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 20% Syrah, it is described as having a, “chunky frame and weight, with rounded tannins and a rich, persistent finish”.

Others include Ménage à Trois, Cycles Gladiator – the nude nymph label got that one banned in Alabama, and the Fat Bastard with an amusing website here - https://www.fatbastardwine.com/

And it's packed in an invisible gift box.

I like cardbordeaux.

There's a Napa winery that produces a wine called Marilyn Merlot. I'd like to see a couple of imported French wines: Brigitte Bordeaux and Marcel Meursault.

You're close! There is a wine bar in Sherwood, Nottingham in the UK named Brigitte Bordeaux: https://www.brigittebordeauxwine.co.uk/.

There are [or were] two producers named Marcel who make Meursault: Marcel Frécourt, and Marcel de Lauzière.
