The Blonde Bombshell
The Blonde Bombshell is right. With its inspired pulp-movie-esc look and feel this new California white is sure to seduce. The brainchild of wine maker Jeff Booth, The Blonde Bombshell was the result of combining two Californian favorites – Hollywood and wine – into one badass sexy bottle.
Designed by South Carolina-based Hook, the labels were created not only to pop on the shelves, but to match the wine’s own fun, fruity taste as well. And if you’re super keen on these saucy vineyard vixens, The Blonde Bombshell is sister to The Big Red Monster – another old-Hollywood chic classic. Hot cha cha, baby.
