Hey Baby, What's Your Sign?

RUN! to your local LCBO and grab as many of the D'Arenberg Hermit Crabs as you can fit in your old kit bag. Found a few stacks at Royal York & Bloor W. this weekend. $15.95, which is a fricking amazing price. God love government run likker-stores, eh? I know for a fact its priced in the $20US range because I've paid that trying to create a little stash North of 49.

The Crab got Sheena through some long lonely stressful nights during her extended stay in Australia a couple of years ago. If she would have had a blog back then it would have been called "The 'Bane of My Existence"...

I'm a whore for anything D'arenberg, and had my first oenological orgasm with a 1999 Dead Arm Shiraz. I've been a somewhat rabid collector ever since.

The Hermit Crab is a viognier/marsanne blend. The Viognier is the dominant grape - emparting a floral fruity nose. Less over the top than a Gewurtz, tropical without the sweetness. Kind of like eating lychees while rolling around naked in a field of daisies.
