Tasting note: “bitter clown tears”
This tasting note is no doubt better than the wine!
But, oddly, I bet it actually helped sales of the wine (assuming people read it). It wouldn’t surprise me if there were a store out there somewhere that posted only mockeries or send-ups of tasting notes. Would resonate well with the youngs. If anyone lacks creativity but wants to get started, there’s always the silly tasting note generator.

Looks like somebody was doing a little tasting on his own before he wrote that tasting note 😉

I think this was from someone replacing the tasting notes with their own prank silly versions. Must have made a few eyes pop in the aisles! lol

I almost never read the tasting notes beside the price. I’m a terrible wine store shopper. For all I know this has happened right in front of my eyes countless times!

That’s funny. I wonder if that’s some sort of marketing gimmick like you mention and actually had a positive impact on sales. I’d certainly be curious to know what “bitter clown tears” taste like. Slightly bitter I’d imagine 🙂

You have to wonder . . . if Smokey Robinson bought a case or two as soon as he read the shelf-talker.
