C.R.Sandidge is Whistling Punk

Whistle Punk is the name; smooth, seductive, and rugged is the game. In looking at this bottle as it sits on my desk, I have to wonder both where the name came from and why in the world there is a lumberjack on the label. I know the creative genius behind all the C.R.Sandidge wines has a reason behind it, but it only becomes clear to me when I open the bottle to taste. It makes me want to sip and whistle at the same time! It’s a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Syrah and has the kind of kick that I suppose only a lumberjack can give you. Regardless of the secret behind the name, this wine is awesome! It’s enjoyable now, but I’m taking another bottle home to cellar for my future whistling sessions.

To continue with the interesting names, we have added the 2003 Tri*Umph and the 2006 Great Gams Rosé. I can only infer that the Tri*Umph got its name from the “Oh my goodness, this could be the greatest red I have ever tasted” reaction that often follows the very first sip of this blend. I would definitely agree that this wine will put some “umph” in your glass. The name Great Gams must come from both the beautiful legs adorning the label on the bottle and from the gorgeous “legs” streaming down the glass after a good swirling.

Try these wines for yourself, and let me know your opinions on the names and the tastes that come with them.
