Mwhahahaha! It’s time for Monster Chiller Thriller Wine XV!I This year I’m leaning into what we in the industry call Direct Imports or DI. Also called Private Labels. And who leans into this business model the most, and doesn’t really hide it? Total Wine & More. It’s been a minute since I got all my wines from them, so let’s see what showed up in my Halloween basket! First up is the NV Forbidden Kiss Sweet Sparkling wine from the incomparable J.C. Boisset. Second is the 2023 Malbado Malbec from Argentina. And lastly we have the NV Witching Hour Stories & Spells Red Blend.
