“Why don’t Irishmen wear kilts? Cause they’re not long enuf!”

Irishmen always have complained about being short guys.

[...] Trader Joe’s introduces new “Th. J.” wine People are dubbing this “10-buck Tom.” Pretty funny. The bottle itself seems to be garnering most of the attention as it’s sand-blasted for an aged look, and collectors are already scrambling to get their hands on one. [...]

Tyler,
I just caught up on your blog (one of the downsides of now following on twitter — NOT checking the blog as often). This is classic Dr. Vino put-on. Smart, multi-facetted jokes that are just subtle enough to seem plausible. Well played, Doc.

So glad you liked it! Yes, it was a joke for April Fool’s day for those who were wondering. (nice with the 13th catch, Sally! And Kim with the Languedoc pinot reference!) Jim L, please send your grandson’s email address if he does freelance work for good rates.

Ohhhh, come on, it was fun… and most of TJ’s wine does taste like vinegar.

Someone had better go back to Photo-shop 101.
My 10 year old grandson could make it look more realistic.
Oh well, it is April 1st.

Very nice. I especially liked the cheap Pinot Noir from the Languedoc….

Harvey Rollingstock??? That’s what finally gave it away for me. (And Trader Joe’s in NYC is on 14th St)

It does indeed have that ‘foolish’ ring to it. Sandblasted bottle…overpriced Languedoc Pinot noir…April 1st release date…gullible public.
