TASTING NOTES:
Welcome to Crazy Casemates’ Case of North by Northwest Rosé. We got lime on the nose. We got peach on the nose. We got mineral, orange peel, passion fruit, rose water, all on the nose! You want lemon zest on the tongue? Done. You want rose petal and white peach? Done and done. Stick around for the pineapple, grapefruit, and orange blossoms. You want it, we got it at Crazy Casemates’ Case of North by Northwest Rosé.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
King George III, by the end of 1811, became “permanently insane.” He’d begun suffering dementia late in life and after the death of his youngest daughter, seemed to fall very ill. I was just going for the crazy car dealer schtick, but wow. Learn something new every day. Or every Monday-Wednesday-Friday.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
White wine glass is deemed “acceptable,” perhaps with a salad or seafood.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
One of those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubemen. You know the ones.
