Wine labels are getting to be like band names...no indicator of the tastes or sounds to be relished or endured.

That one is tasteful and aesthetically sophisticated, though. My experience is that a label like that can be a good sign, but if the name and/or artwork is too cute, it's usually a bad sign for the wine within.
I once had a stranger in a liquor store inform me -- after asking if I knew where they kept the pinot grigio, the first word of which she pronounced like "peanut" -- that any wine with the word "bitch" in its name is guaranteed to be good. My theory would have been just the opposite, but apparently she had done some extensive research. :laugh:

Yes, actually, this was a very good wine.
