#TeamMourvedre’s New Mascot

I was very happy to receive this little monster in the mail last week. I think #TeamMourvedre may have itself a new unofficial mascot, courtesy of Bonny Doon Vineyard.

I think he/she needs a name.

Morris?

Maurice?

Morty?

Èd? (avec accent grave, bien sûr)

Feel free to offer your own suggestions.

You may recognize the little guy/gal/beast from the label on this bottle, previously reviewed. As I said then:

I want this on a t-shirt.

(Is anyone in Santa Cruz listening?)

The bottle itself is a half-bottle of Bonny Doon 2010 Mourvèdre “Mon Doux” — a dessert wine (“my sweet”) from old-vine Contra Costa County mourvèdre.

I’m very glad I added this to my club shipment, and can’t wait to see what this little beast has in store.
