It truly is the devil I tell you! I absolutely can't open the bottle without finishing it.
"A rich red wine with black currant, mocha and cherry flavors"
At least tonight I'm doing something productive while drinking my two glasses of ROOT:1, but last time I downed a whole bottle watching So You Think You Can Dance Chelsea & Matt's lyrical hip hop routine over and over on YouTube.
EMBARRASSING.
But that's how good it is. OH, and by the way, that was a Saturday night.
Needless to say Brady didn't really think that was too cool. And this is why it is the devil wine.
I seriously get scared pulling the cork that I might just drink the whole thing - I wonder, will I have the willpower to stop at 1/2 a bottle? THE DEVIL in a BOTTLE!
But I love it.
ROOT: 1 Cabernet Sauvignon
Colchagua Valley, Chile 2006
Made from original European rootstocks that typically do not survive - according to the bottle, Chile is super-special because the grapes grow unaffected by wine-grape disease (phylloxera).
Cost Plus / World Market on sale for $9.99
(but usually not much more than that - an AMAZING value, I promise).
And a beautiful bottle to boot.

Jen,
I had a bad case of phylloxera once. It was miserable. Eat plenty of chicken soup...
Scott

scott brought his phylloxera over to my house once. I looked at it and said, "HEY WWWAAASS YO NAAM?"
Jen...have you watched Wine Library TV yet? This guy is awesome. He posts a new vlog every day. I've wasted at least two hours today watching past episodes.

uhhh...helooo...I posted a comment on July 8th and nothing....no comments back...but Ernie posts one and you respond back like in 8 hours? You are so racialist.
you told me you got wine grape disease... what am I supposed to say?
Aww...come on...that was funny.....I should have at least gotten a "LOL" response or a "haha".... something? You didn't even respond to my grey label comment. I think I might stop drinking wine all together out of protest...wait...
i DARE you to stop drinking wine... DO IT! DO IT!
does that reverse psychology work? i mean, to convince you to drink wine?
I almost bought this today but I wasn't sure if it was the right one. Damn shame. I could have used some devil wine tonight.
We have had the 04, 05, and 07 vintages of this wine but never the 06. We really were impressed with the 04 and while the other two were still very good they did not compare. So if you ever get a chance to try the 04 do not pass it up.
