The bottleneck of this “Romeo & Juliet Wall” labeled wine touts the 3000 love messages per day that are scrawled on the wall by visitors to Verona. I’d say the wine inside the bottle hits its target audience perfectly, delivering off dry notes of peach and pineapple that dance with subtle dried herbs and a spiced pear finish that will keep young lovers’ attention off of each other for a fleeting moment. As the weather warms and people return to visit the wall, they’d be wise to tuck a bottle of this in their picnic basket.
