Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon, I think?

 (Written August 19, 2022)

It was fine.  I recycled the bottle too soon so I can't refer to it, and none of the pictures I found of Fetzer were that kind of red.

It was fine.  The bottle was right between Dark Horse Cab and Pepperwood Cab and it was THAT kind of wine.  A couple bucks more expensive than either of those but still under $10.  It was fine. Drank it over the course of three days and it was pretty much the same.

Maybe I'll buy another one but honestly?  Fetzer's always seems like a corporate decision than a vintner decision.  You know what I mean?  Like 

In a city twisted halfway upturned, loose hubris usually finds help to antagonize good nights.

 But maybe not.  Anyway, the label is proclaiming Fetzer's commitment to sustainability or something, and after I drank the bottle down enough to see the back label the reduce-reuse-recycle triangle thing kept looking like the radiation hazard symbol.

I do not think anyone's gonna get radiation poisoning from this wine though.  That was more about my hallucinatory experiences lately than anything else.

But yeah, I heard about Fetzer because I worked in a pizza-place deli that sold beer and wine and all, and I thought the owner said it was an offshoot label of like Mondavi or something, but that was 35 years ago and a LOT of wine's been reddening my insides since then, I tell you what!

I don't think I've every heard drinking red wine as 'reddening your insides', even translated from one of the places where that might be some kind of toast.  Looking at you, Russia or Switzerland.  Your toasts and drunkenness descriptions are amazing.

Or is it Sweden?  Dunno anymore because my insides are too red.

Anyway.  Fetzer's fine.  You get Fetzer and it'll be just fine.  You could do better in this price range with either Pepperwood or Dark Horse, but it's drinkable, not too shouty, and didn't piss me off.

I give it a 'Dead Cthulhu Dreams' out of 'Waiting in R'lyeh'.
