Cycles Gladiator Pinot Noir 2006
Monday, February 8th, 2010I was in New York City a couple of months ago and stumbled across a wine shop on the Upper West Side. I posed the shop guy a challenge.  I wanted to take just one bottle back to the UK. What would he recommend?  Something American, good value, underrated, and not available in the UK.
He suggested that I see through the marketing gimmicks of Cycles Gladiator and try the Cabernet Sauvignon at about 11 bucks. I’ve not tasted it yet.
At a California Wines event in London last month, I stumbled across the same brand. A number of thoughts raged. It’s available in the UK! And they do a Pinot Noir! And it’s the same cheesy label! And it tastes annoyingly good…
Stumble It!
