LONG DESCRIPTION

Good old’ Claw deh Bwah. This is probably the most generic mid-shelf red wine that exists. Every family has a bottle of this left on top of a cabinet waiting to be broken into during a holiday or dinner party. There’s two good reasons this wine is so popular:

1) it’s really good

2) you gain 2 IQ points every time you say its name out loud, even in a nasty valley girl Delco accent such as mine

It really is good. Light, juicy, clean. None of that harsh alcoholic bite you get from mid-shelf wines trying to be something they’re not. The Bois is soft spoken. Easy going. Pair it with pasta, fish, beans, or your weird pre-summer starvation diet of almonds and overcooked chicken. That’s what it was made for! Anything! Or nothing! The Bois is an open-minded wine, somehow identifying as French but actually coming from California. No stress. No rush to be anywhere. Skinny lil body. It’s got a unionized job and survives on medicated trail mix (loaded with berries). It’s ready for anything and nothing. But it’s ready to do it all with you! Best thing about it is it’s only about $12 at your neighborhood Acme. Pick up a bottle & don’t worry about how basic it seems – this wine is great & won’t disappoint.
