Is there something in the water in the Czech Republic? Cuz sometimes it seems like everything Czech—from its literature to film to wine—is surreal. In the case of this wine, two images came to mind at first sip: blue cheese and lemon-lime Gatorade. As you can guess from those clues, this bottle is funkier than The Mothership Connection itself, though not in a "drinking kombucha in a rodent cage way," but more like "shoving your nose into wet soil to find truffles." Dunno about you, but that's literally our idea of a fun Friday night—especially if they're serving lemon-lime Gatorade at the after party. Delicious in a Kafka-esque kinda way. Thanks Dluhe Grefty! Thanks Kafka!
