Maggie Mae El Nino Red

Maggie Mae El Nino Red Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Maggie Mae was introduced in 1998 when El Nino visited us. There was so much rain (47 inches) that our Pinot Noir grape lost some of its flavor intensity so instead of making our Periwinkle Pinot Noir we added a little Merlot and put our dog Maggie Mae on the label. It quickly became known as the "Wet Dog Red." We only planned on producing this wine that one year but it became such a hit that we added it to our "stable of fine wines." We think this wine is a great food wine and goes with just about any meal. It is essentially a Pinot Noir with 95% Pinot Noir and 5% Merlot.
