J. Keverson Sonoma Red Sampler (3)

Monday, July 16, 2012

These reds from J. Keverson Wines will put a spell on you!*

*We are legally obligated to tell you that these wines will NOT actually put a real, bona fide spell on you.

All we meant was that – with the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon’s award winning dry and smooth texture; the 2008 Syrah’s nose of dark berry fruit, cocoa, and a bit of smoke; and the 2009 Starkey’s Court Zinfandel’s flavors of black cherry and plum with hints of cedar, mocha, and vanilla – they’re really quite enchanting, so to speak.

Therefore, if you are feeling light headed or tired, it’s probably because you should be getting more sleep; it’s NOT a sign that you’re about fall into some ten year fairy-tale style slumber. And if your skin is starting to look slimy or scaly or something, don’t worry: you’re not turning into a frog or a snake; you’re probably just allergic to your soap.

That’s why – and this is the most-important part – you SHOULD NOT run around saying, “J. Keverson put a spell on me! You need to kiss me to make it go away!” Because, seriously, that won’t help you secure a kiss, and it won’t help J. Keverson keep their target demographic, which is people who aren’t insane.
