Slimandsexxy would be proud, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Wine Sells Out

angelina jolie

Some 6,000 bottles of  “Miraval Rosé 2012″  from the French vineyard owned by Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sold out today.

The bottles were on sale only in France on the Château Miraval web site.  The wine went for 105 euros with all taxes and shipping  included for a case.

“The sale started at 9 a.m., and all the bottles were sold out by 2 p.m.,” said a spokesperson for the Vitabella, the public relations firm representing the vineyard.

Jolie and Pitt partnered with Marc Perrin, the owner of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to create the label “Bottled b Jolie-Pitt et Perrin” 2012 Rosé vintage. In a statement, Perrin called the wine “aromatic with a round mouthfeel that is full of freshness.”

Marc Perrin also  spoke of the valley location that the 2012 vintage comes from.  “This is a magical place that we traverse from one end to the other to discover exceptional plots. The valley, property of the château, offers an unmatched eco-system and gives the wines a unique style in terms of freshness and elegance.”

My friends call me Chianti. It's my favourite type of wine. lol it's kinda sad. I mean I love Cab Sauv's but ugh Chiantis are delish.
ladyofmachinery 9th-Mar-2013 10:06 pm (UTC)
Also I like the Rocca delle Macie chianti
suicidemotel 9th-Mar-2013 10:38 pm (UTC)
I drank so much Chianti when I was studying abroad in Florence. I brought one back to the US & was anxious the entire flight back that it would break.

Cupcake wines!
carazon 9th-Mar-2013 11:27 pm (UTC)
I really don't like wine, but there's this cosmo drink that gets topped with Cupcake Pinot noir and it is amazing.
ectypes 9th-Mar-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
anything white.... usually pinot grigio. never enjoy reds for some reason.


winos: i hear that a lot of people find riesling tacky/white trashy... is this true? because it's so sweet?
licorrice 9th-Mar-2013 10:12 pm (UTC)
riesling is pretty sweet to me but I wouldn't call it tacky/white trash.
maeir 9th-Mar-2013 10:25 pm (UTC)
not in my experience.
familyjules 10th-Mar-2013 12:05 am (UTC)
Riesling is amazing and delicious. I have never heard it described as trashy and those people can get off their high horses, tbh.
mercystars 10th-Mar-2013 12:17 am (UTC)
nah, it's usually chablis and white zinfandel

wine snobs are total fucking assholes. just drink what you like to drink.
dizzylizzybsb 10th-Mar-2013 02:02 am (UTC)
I drank a bottle of pinot grigio on new years eve and had a really bad hangover.
It was the first time I ever had it. It was sooo good. I usually drink white zinfandel.
greatestheroine 10th-Mar-2013 12:00 pm (UTC)
I looove sweet wine
mytoxicberry 11th-Mar-2013 09:34 am (UTC)
Riesling is sweet but it's not tacky. It's an alsacian white wine that you drink with a "choucroute".
The best one in this kind of wine is the Gewurt.

I don't like sweet wine, but they're necessary with a good macaron or forêt noire.


joc_strap 9th-Mar-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
i like andré champagne. it's good and $5.
leviicorpus 9th-Mar-2013 10:09 pm (UTC)
Malbec, Syrah, Pinot Grigio are my faves, but I also love a good South American red.
starrhi6 9th-Mar-2013 10:10 pm (UTC)
Frontera. Cheap and pretty good. My boyfriend and I go through bottles of it.
kukamine 9th-Mar-2013 10:10 pm (UTC)
Does anyone know any good "sweet" wines?
licorrice 9th-Mar-2013 10:10 pm (UTC)
riesling.
icangoforthat 9th-Mar-2013 10:17 pm (UTC)
Bartenura Moscato, it is semisweet, cheap and very refreshing. great for appetizers and fruits.
greatestheroine 10th-Mar-2013 12:21 pm (UTC)
I NEED MOSCATO. LIKE YESTERDAY.
maeir 9th-Mar-2013 10:20 pm (UTC)
sweet as in like a dessert wine or a red or a white that has a sweeter finish?

gewurztraminer, muscato and riesling are sweeter whites as are pinot gris and chenin blanc

rosé can also be sweet

any wine marked "late harvest" will definitely have more residual sugar also look for botrytis effected wines.
morgan90 9th-Mar-2013 10:26 pm (UTC)
If you want super-sweet, buy ice wine
xevochic 9th-Mar-2013 10:27 pm (UTC)
Eiswein, bb. The best dessert wine you'll ever have.

I can get down on bottles of that at a time. Have you ever tried Roscato? It's amazing.
nene718 10th-Mar-2013 12:26 am (UTC)

eaglefan2011 9th-Mar-2013 10:12 pm (UTC)
i'm not a big fan of wine, i only like riesling
slr32 9th-Mar-2013 10:14 pm (UTC)
Yup, wine is gross. And red wine stains your teeth!
slr32 9th-Mar-2013 10:13 pm (UTC)
What a terrible pic of Angelina
maeir 9th-Mar-2013 10:14 pm (UTC)
$140 for 6 bottles is less than I thought (including shipping and handling).

Favourite rosés (because listing all my favourite wines would mean we'd be here forever):
Patrick Bottex, la cueille, Bugey-Cerdon
René & Agnes Mosse, Moussamoussettes
Clos Roche Blanche Touraine Rosé
Morantin Marie Rose Cabernet
Jean Paul Brun d'Folie Beaujolais Rosé
slr32 9th-Mar-2013 10:15 pm (UTC)
One of my most embarassing moments: shortly after I turned 21, I went to a speed dating event at wine bar and asked for a glass of "rose." Like....the flower.
maeir 9th-Mar-2013 10:22 pm (UTC)
I'm sure you are not the first (nor will you be the last) person to make that mistake.
I was never a fan of rosé until I discovered the ones I mentioned above.
sweetwaterpink 9th-Mar-2013 11:47 pm (UTC)
Wow, what a list! I have to give some of these a try. Thanks.
sofiascarlett 9th-Mar-2013 10:15 pm (UTC)
I like Champagne (Bollinger, Ruinart or Louis Roederer), Chablis, Bourgogne (red) and Beaujolais if I'm in the mood for a lighter red.
xevochic 9th-Mar-2013 10:31 pm (UTC)
unf Champagne is amazing.

I live about an hour from Reims. Sometimes I wonder how I even have money left for food when there is so much good Champagne to buy.
sofiascarlett 9th-Mar-2013 11:14 pm (UTC)
IFKR, the crisp feeling when you take your first sip...omg

Lucky you! I would spend all my money on Champagne too if I could, but the prices are ridic here in Sweden.
