Dear Sharpe Hill…a naming suggestion.
I will never forget the first time I was introduced to one of my all time favorite white wines, Ballet of Angels. There I was pondering the what would go best with a vegetarian sloppy joe (so. good. you don’t even know.) when my eyes fell on this.
Creepy Baby - semi dry white. $8/glass
Could you have resisted ordering something with a name so unforgettable?
Alas, thank goodness this particular restaurant chose to list the wine with such a hilariously apt nickname (see ghostly child featured on wine label), since I’m quite sure I would have missed “Ballet of Angels” entirely. And that would have been a shame - this Sharpe Hill wine is one of the most lovely, refreshing mixed varietals I’ve encountered. Crisp without being sharp, pungent without offending the senses, every person I’ve since introduced it to has been just as enthralled as I am every time I open a bottle.
As Creepy Baby (yes, I insist on calling it this) is not available in Canada, my trips to the US are generally preceded by a number of requests to return with bottles of this divine treat. At under $12 USD/bottle, I’m more than happy to oblige.
