Let's read what the mailer says...

It says, in part:

Wine 1: Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. And were not talking about milk chocolate...

Wine 2: Youll want to put the kids to bed and then prepare your palate to be assaulted.

Wine 3: ...a blast of cherry and boysenberry wrapped in layers of vanilla and mocha

While I appreciate the creativity it may be that I am not actually a member of the target audience.

On the other hand, these are not the $150/bottle wines.

BUT.. can I buy them and sell them for 5-10X what I paid???

Who would ever think of actually drinking this??
 
If it's dark chocolate you want, why pay $150 for a bar sold in liquid form, when for $7.50 you can buy a great bar in solid form? Plus you don't have to worry about cork taint, brett or any of the other evils that preferentially strike the liquid form of chocolate. I would also worry that the boysenberry, mocha and vanilla will ruin a perfectly good chocolate. Though perhaps the $150/bottle form has a prettier label and more sex appeal.
 
Wait...this isn't a chocolate mailer? Those descriptions are for something else?

Huh. Who knew?
 
This just in. Three wines.

The Cab: Big, ripe cherry pie... with black cherry aromas and berry and camphor spice... A soft mid-palate with toasty oak and bright acidity.

The Merlot: Delicious raspberry and blackberry fruit. Sweet, rich mid-palate with ripe fruit and espresso... Very Cabernet-like.

The Petite Sirah: Super ripe, porty and vinous.

Sounds like one will need a knife and fork to properly enjoy these. I especially like how their Merlot is actually very Cab like. That'll get 'em to buy by the case load!

I did not realize that Cabernet like involved raspberry and blackberry fruit and espresso. Guess I need to learn more about wine.
