Quite possibly the worst WS article of the year (or longer!)

Look, it’s his life. It’s now or never. He ain’t gonna live forever. He just wants to make mediocre Rose while he’s alive.

I see what you did there, nice

Miraval is pretty good. Sure, you can get similar quality for $5 less without the celeb association and fancy bottle, but it’s stil good wine.

Agreed, except I think its a lot better than a $5 wine. Not a $20 wine, but a very solid rose.

You’re on the same page. He didn’t say you can get similar quality for $5, but rather “$5 less.” So around $15 (I think it sells for around $20).

New York is drowning in it.

I hear that if you pour it into a margarita machine it makes a decent slushie.

That will happen next summer when the 2017 vintage is on closeout for $4 a bottle.

As an aside, now you know what you’re getting when you order Frose–last year’s closeouts!

I heard the second label is called ‘New Jersey Water’. Mmmm

[T_Klonoski]

Then there’s the third label called Toms River Estate.

Found this at my local grocer for $3 a bottle. Would have bought cases for the upcoming Summer, however, store limited me to only a 6 bottle purchase. Wasn’t this a Top 100 WS (#83) wine of 2018???

Spotted the 2018 Hampton Water at a liquor store today outside of Ocean City, NJ. $28 a bottle, and located in their special wine room. Would have made a nice wine spritzer for this hot weather at $3.

[Neal.Mollen]

i posted on the ridiculousness of something called hampton water a month or 2 ago and got no replies.
i still find it ridiculous, however i’d probably drink it if offered a glass at a party

I am still not getting the allusion. Sorry to be culturally dense

If that place was Stone Harbor then 2 buck chuck is $28 too.

Boulevard Liquors over the 34th street bridge. Wine room, with a few exceptions (Siduri, Penner Ash, Ridge), was a steak house wine list with pricing to match.

I’ve had it, it’s quite good.

2 parts Hampton Water

1 part frozen strawberries

1 part sugar

Blend and serve!

I give it a 93!

Resurrecting this critical thread to note my deep amusement/disdain upon opening my mailbox to find a Bon Jovi cover story + like 12 page career retrospective (?!) on path to making crappy French rose.
I thought the last WS I received, with cover story and enormous fawning profile of LPGA player (name escapes me) was crazy lame for a wine magazine. Oct 31 issue said “oh, you want lame? Check this out.”
I know WS is a “lifestyle” mag and not aimed at the geeks, but has it always been so cringey? I’ve read it on and off for 20 years but I swear we are plumbing new depths these days.
Yes, I am bringing all this upon myself.

I was eventually able to let it go from our inventory to some better rose’s. Replaced it with a good value German pinot noir rose.

You read it didn’t you?
