And, because wine tattoos are a tough lot to work with.... what better topic then wine tattoos?! Because of the subject matter, wine tattoos have a tendency to be incredibly cheesy, and forced. Also, they can be pourly (pun) thought out, placed and designed.

At Lucky Rock, we have had a…let’s say complicated relationship with wine ratings. Like an attractive, but out of our league, woman (or man, or gender non-binary) we have sought out critical reviews of our wines and have succeeded many times, and also have been spurned a few times. Today we want to take a deeper dive into the murky world of wine reviews.
