Would you beleive Marilyn Wines has a wine club?
February 18th, 2009
Wine Club Insider back with you, with a strange one, really!
I think that everyone has likely heard of Marilyn Wines… the ones with the pictures of Marilyn Monroe on them? Marilyn Merlot? Yup. I have a couple. You?
I’ve got to tell you that they are actually really good wines from some of Napa’s best vineyards, but I always thought they were a bit quirky, I guess… let me tell you, i was quite surprised when today, I came across a wine club devoted exclusively to Marilyn Wines!
www.marilynwines.com, ran by Uvada Winery, sells five different Marilyn Wines:
Blonde de Noirs is their sparkling wine. Marilyn loved her champagne, and this sparkler seems pretty good, from all accounts.
Marilyn Merlot is their signature wine, and I’ve got to say it’s very nice!
Norma Jean is their newest wine, a blend of syrah and merlot.
Marilyn Cabernet features a pretty famous painting, as well as a well reviewed cabernet.
And, of course, the velvet collection is their best offering.
All in all, I must say I am more impressed with their wines than I thought I was going to be.
The wines are a bit pricey, in part, I think, because of their commercial cult appeal, but for fairly top quality Napa wines, they are still pretty reasonable.
Now I’m kind of interested in seeing if there are any other quirky wine clubs out there… anyone have any others to share?
Back with you Monday!
Wine Club Insider out!
