Caty Hates April Fools Marketing
…But she loves good booze.
We are early with this one, but Caty refused to do some cringe April Fools marketing thing and I SWEAR TO THE GOOD LORD VERITY IF YOU DO IT…
Rather than a lame joke, we’re gonna help you pull one over on your snobby friends. There is absolutely no need to take out a second mortgage to afford a fancy Bordeaux. Y’all know we’re about booze for the people. If you want to impress your friends, go with one of these options that tastes like a milli bucks without costing an arm and a leg.
Affordable Dupes, No Fooling
We’re enormous fans of red wines from Chile, particularly their Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere (Carme-what?), which would easily catfish a bougie French bottle in a blind tasting. With bold, rich characteristics like their French friends, you can now serve a dupe with the same fanfare. Our favorites are Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenere and Malbano Cabernet Sauvignon, paired with hearty, meaty meals and a side of smugness.
Fantastic news, hot off the Sipply presses: there is absolutely no need to sell a kidney to afford the Burgundy experience! The world’s best (and most expensive) Pinot Noir is at the top of most somm’s list of dream bottles, but trick even the best by swapping in a Gamay Noir from one of the 10 Beaujolais ‘cru’ regions’, which are a stone’s throw away from Burgundy. We are obsessed with Domaine du Moulin A Vent and Domaine de Grand Croix Brouilly which have the lightness of Pinot Noir with the complexity and earthy qualities that command the big bucks. Pair with roast chicken and delight in your trickery.
Move over Champagne, we’ve got two stellar dupes that will fool the connoisseur in your life! Enjoy the satisfaction of some serious trickery by subbing in a glass (or three) of Cava or Cremant. Both made in a method similar to Champagne, a high quality bottle of either will run you a fraction of the price. Segura Viudas Brut Heredad Reserva and Louis Bouillot Perle de Vigne Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Sparkling Wine are two of our go-tos, paired with french fries for the ultimate high/low experience. April 1 is sounding mighty tasty!
We were so surprised by the results of the last survey we did, we rephrased. Please fill out this 1 questioner so we can figure out if we’re taking crazy pills or if we’re just really, really bad at market research.
Cheers!
