Veruca called me and said "Next time you go to the store and you're in the wine aisle - there's a white wine with a woman holding a baby on the front. It's German and made by the same company as the Pedo-Midget wine. Buy it. It's pretty cheep, and I can't decide what I think."
The wine she'd recommended was the Liebfraumilch by Schmitt-Sohne. I did buy it, and she was right it was cheep....and weird.
I told my husband that it was like the first kiss with someone that were uncertain about - and just as the kiss started and everything seemed poised to swing in a positive direction - the object of your possible affection bit your lip and bumped your head. The moment was gone. No magic, no fireworks, not even a spark - just a bloody lip and a headache.
I was really hoping we'd hit it out of the park on this one. It has all of the qualities I adore in a wine: low acid, decent sugar and a twist cap! It smelled sweet and had a lovely sunny day color - but behind that deceptive smooth mouth feel was a bitter bite. Sorry Liebfraumilch - I don't get kinky until the second date. I don't want your number, I don't want to see you again, I just want you out. To the Cellar of Shame with you!
Essen, Trinken und fröhlich sein!

Veruca's Thoughts:
I really wanted to like this wine. When Violet asked me why I wanted her to try it so bad all I could say was "I don't know it's just weird."
Everything about it says I should like it, great smell, pretty color, low price. When I actually took a sip it was blech. I thought it was sickly sweet, like biting into an overripe piece of fruit, totally off putting. I agree Keller der Schande!

I don't hate Liebfrau
Interesting note, Liebfraumilch translates to "lovely woman's milk"
That's a really weird translation for a wine name lol! I think maybe it was just this particular brand, we'll probably be trying other varieties in the future. Thanks for reading!
