Toasted Head

Toasted Head
I have a thing about wine labels. I just find some of them very interesting. This offering from R.H. Phillips has always amused me with its playful fire-breathing circus bear. It doesn't pair very well with food, (the wine, not the bear) but is quite nice to drink at cocktail hour. If you enjoy a big, oaky Chardonnay, this one is pretty okay. (I meant that to rhyme).

That image of the fire breathing bear just doesn't sell it for me. I looked through several of your recent posts. Love the colors and variety. Keep up the great work.

Oh they changed the label.. the older version had the bear dancing around the fire .. I bought this wine because of the label a few years ago .. it never disappoints

Sometimes I buy the wine just because I like the label. This label has always amused me.

I love wine labels too. You captured this one very well. I actually went wine tasting yesterday and took a bunch of photos of the wine bottles. I haven't posted any of them though.

I love the name - it's how you feel after drinking a bottle!
