Pixel Pile #1223: My Kind of Wine

 
While perusing the wine aisle last week, I saw a name on a box that made me do a double take. And when I saw the bottle it contained, I had to bring it home. The label reads:

“There really is no substitute for tradition and experience. Just ask any...

OLD FART

For instance, they'll be quick (well, relatively) to tell you that excellence can't be rushed, especially when it comes to producing a superb wine. They'll also tell you grapes from old vines give a greater concentration of flavor and that traditional methods are best.

But, let's be honest. When was the last time you took any notice of what they had to say? Which is a shame, as this time, they actually know what they're talking about.

BE BOLD
GO FOR THE OLD”

Where can I buy a bottle of the wine? I saw it at one of my local grocery stores a while ago and I didn't buy it, of course now I want to get a bottle. If you know where I can purchase it, please let me know.

Heather, I bought it at our local Kroger grocery store in Atlanta. But it may have been a fluke. A Google search for "old fart wine" is surprisingly unrevealing, however, I did find this: " A runaway success in Britain, Old Git now also comes in a Reserve and sparkling formats, and has crossed the pond where its known as Old Fart. The wine was deep purple with a super fruity Grenache taste. Christmas presentation packs of Old Git come with a smart talking tie. No Old Git about town should be without one. I never leave home without wearing mine."

They also inform us there is an "Old Tart" as well.

I found it at Costco in Edison, NJ ... under $12/bottle. It was a big hit, provided some laughs and tasted good too.

I just bought a bottle in Hilton Head Island, SC in a BiLo grocery store. I'm using it as a gift for a 60th birthday party.
