Nova Wines

My husband and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner at our house this past year. As a celebratory gift, my grandfather-​in-​law brought me a bottle of «Marilyn Merlot.»
While I do not consider myself a wine connoisseur at all, my grandfather-​in-​law is.
Also, I am not much into red wines, but after the first sip I was deeply impressed. We made a grand Thanksgiving toast, but later my grandfather-​in-​law, my mother-​in-​law and I all toasted to Marilyn as well. People may say what they want about her past, but she was a very beautiful woman unlike any other.
The delicious flavor went very well with all of our Thanksgiving dishes including turkey, ham, and several casseroles. It would most likely compliment other main dishes very well.
The bottle itself is beautifully designed (see my photos attached), and, of course, has a charming picture of Marilyn Monroe on it. The bottle was emptied rather quickly, yet, I have it stashed in my kitchen until I can think of something interesting to do with it.
When I went to Nova Wines’ website, I was happy to learn that there were many other wines attributed to the late icon. Plus, the grapes used for the liquid goodness derived from Napa Valley.
Apparently this particular wine is a bestseller, and «sells out quickly.» And while I have never been up that far north in California, I am happy to learn that they accept phone orders or you can order online at
.
Cheers to Marilyn Merlot & Nova Wines!
