And Now for Something Completely Different: Lopez de Heredia!

A NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: Yeah, that never happened. We never made a window display of LdH bottles filled with tiny foam leaves. I think the prices started to go up and we had to put the breaks on the drinking of it, so not so many empty bottles. But it would have been very, very cool.

Alright, alright. I write about LdH all the time.

But this time, it’s not about the wine. It’s about hundreds of tiny plastic leaves shoved into a bottle of Vina Tondonia.

Looks cute, doesn’t it?

Next autumn, I’m envisioning a window filled with bottles of LdH, each filled with hundreds and thousands of these tiny leaves.

Even if it does feel a little sacrilegious.
