Marilyn Merlot and the Naked Grape

Some days your ordinary, run of the mill wine just doesn't cut it. Some days, you need something that's just a little bit crazy. That's where Marilyn Merlot and the Naked Grape come in.

Get your hands on some wine miscellanea with the straight dope on 100 crazy wines - from those with nutty names to those with stunning artwork. You'll get tasting notes, interesting tidbits, and all sorts of wine labels for your perusal. If that sounds like your cup of...ummm, wine...pick up Marilyn Merlot and the Naked Grapeat Amazon. If you still need convincing, see the full book description below.

Fat Bastard Chardonnay, Lazy Lizard Shiraz, White Trash White.
These three wines—and more than 100 others—can be found in Marilyn Merlot and the Naked Grape, a celebration of the oddest wines in the world. Some have strange names, like Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush. Others have bizarre artwork, like the Magritte-inspired UFO invasion. Still others have unusual production features (Braille typography, heat-sensitive inks, lenticular art, and more).

Along with brilliant reproductions of the original labels, we'll feature brief stories about the origins of the wines, plus tasting notes from the author. Readers will learn about unusual vineyards (like Cleavage Creek, which donates its proceeds to breast cancer research) as well as the most innovative artists working in the wine label medium. Finally, there's an appendix of resources that will help you buy these wines—so you can try them for yourself!
