Yes, it's really called that! Eek In a world of wacko wine names, this is one of the wackiest. But you know what? It's worth the five pounds (about USD$9) I paid for it, if not more.

Pineapple, lemon, sweet and crunchy raw carrots. Better about ten minutes out of the fridge than it is a half hour or more later.

The back label is even sillier than the name, going on about Highway 99, a "lonely life out on the road", and "special grapes these, some kind of rare French variety or something". but get past all that guff, and the wine is good QPR.

86 points.

Tasted after two young Bordeaux, one old Rioja, a young port, an old port and a sweeties. I remember it was white.
