We should all be Troublemakers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love blends as you can often get a much higher quality, more enjoyable wine, at a better price point when the winemaker breaks conformance to using only one varietal. Yes, and that’s probably why they call it ‘Troublemaker’. I was skeptical of this wine as cute/funny/clever packaging is often a sign of a mediocre product inside. However, I get the labeling now that I’ve tasted it. Blending varietals is often seen as ‘breaking the rules’ because it’s easier to blend a great tasting wine than to work within the constraints of a single varietal. But, if you ask me, it’s just plain smart… because this is a great quality red, very enjoyable, and at a great price point so you can drink it more often. Wine snobs may turn their noses up to this, but true wine lovers will be impressed with the quality to price ratio here.
