Ted the Mule: Clean, gutsy, great sense of humor
October 20, 2010
The thing about Ted the Mule is that it tastes clean. A lot of wines leave a cloying aftertaste, but not Ted. Speaking of unexpected names, who would name their wine Ted the Mule? Obviously somebody pretty gutsy, with a devil-may-care attitude, and a sense of humor. That is exactly what you get out of Ted the Mule Red. Gutsy. Devil-may-care. Clean. Deep garnet color.
Ted the Mule tasted great as we sat back on the old truck’s tailgate at sunset and proudly surveyed our renovated riverside-pen fences, gates, and hot-wiring. No, Ted the Mule, isn’t a horse, although by definition, mules are half horse, but we let him join the horsey wine collection anyway. What he lacks in genetics, he makes up for in strength of character.
(Note: According to Tony Aspler aka: The Wine Guy, Ted the Mule “is a play on tête de mule, the French expression for stubbornness”.) Enjoy!
