Nothing sexy about it. by jgoldrup

Nothing sexy about it.

I'm not in any rush to upload my pathetic weekend photographic efforts. This is actually the better of the two. I wasted much of Sunday in bed...perhaps something to do with this empty wine bottle. I will often buy a wine just because I like the label and, had I noticed the spelling error in the store, I might've bought more. I quite like selectively colouring something with red, but thought the inversion was better. Did you know that bright red inverts to brilliant turquoise?
Califoria, is that like California and euphoria combined?

cool. sorry you were stuck in bed! been there! LOL
I often buy bottles for a cool label or cool name, and sometimes am pleasantly surprised, and others, well.... at least it was a cool bottle.
Lovely shot!

For a while there all I bought was Yellow Tail because I loved the picture of the Roo! Did drinking this make you feel as sexy as that woman looks? False advertising I'd say....it's never worked for me.
I didn't know that about turquoise, but I DO know that greens turn the most lovely shade of purple :)

Sorry to hear you were in bed, but really loving the bottle label. :)

That's a cool cottle

well for a girl who does love selected color very often, i really do in this case! Also, I don't think it is a typigraphical error... is the wine a blend of a few types? Just a thought. Anyway, I do really like your photo! feel better :)

i love wine labels, so i am intrigued by this. hope it was delicious!

I've never tried any Califoria's. Seriously? How does that get printed on a label and shipped out en masse? Grrrr. Irritating. Anyways, I'll put my OCD aside for the moment and say that I dig your inversion and what it's done to the neck of the bottle there. I totally buy bottles based on the label art too:)

that is a fab typo

I love the selective colour, and the name of the wine itself.

Great shot - love the colour inversion. Hope you're feeling better now.

Love the typo; however, I wonder if their poor quality control also lead to you spending the following day in bed

@chewyteeth ~ Oh maybe that's what they meant....;) Nice of you to give them the benefit of the doubt.

@onarom ~ Well, that's a good theory. I'll look more closely next time and stay away from grammatical errors.

@pwallis ~ I know, it's embarrassing. For them. I would expect such an error from a Maritimes-based company, but Cali?

@bethpledger ~ The 'blends' fits, but not the 'Califoria'. ;)

@shutterbugger ~ Ya, that's almost a self-portrait there on the label...in my mind that night anyway. ha!

Total fav! I buy wine exclusively for the label.....terrible connoiseur, I know. I always feel cool buying Fat Bastard ;)

@slang ~Ohhh...I didn't know there was a Fat Bastard wine - will have to look for it next time.

@jgoldrup We've had it a couple of times and it was great. I'll check to see if they still have it and let you know. I'll send you a bottle if I find it.
December 16th, 2011  
@slang ~ Or if it's in limited supply, maybe a case...? ;)
December 16th, 2011  
@jgoldrup Someone's been good this year, I see?! ;)
December 16th, 2011  
@slang Damn right!
