Name: Menage a Trois
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Category: other reds
Description per label: A delightful blend based on three varietals- Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Price: $10.99
Review: A taste as uninteresting as the act itself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not horrible but if I had to imbibe nightly I’d probably quit drinking. If you ever found yourself homeless and entertaining it’s an ideal pairing with a moist pet food. In other words, a perfect wine to serve the in-laws.
