Mad Maxine 2021
Looking for some moment-worthy AND age-worthy? Say hello to Mad Maxine.
Mad Maxine is a 100% natty red wine blend that makes you want to embrace your inner deep black berry forest Yoda and ponder, “Where The Wild Things Are?” This is not only a moment worthy wine for Big, Bold, Bad Ass red lovers and adventurers of the wild, Mad Maxine is very age-worthy. She’s a showstopper, so give her a moment to be fashionably late because she blossoms and thrives on patience.
However, if you want to enjoy her immediately, enjoy her with something meaty. Take your time with her, because she’ll be up all night.
