Why is Wine

the shit?

  • First, fermented beverages were safer to drink than water during the development of human civilization.

    Thank You!?

  • Second, the more you learn about wine the more you will learn about geography, geology, history, and maybe even a little theoretical moon magic.

    Learning!?

  • Third, the world of wine is filled with traditions and techniques that have been passed down for centuries.

    Amazing!?

Lastly…

Wine is meant to be shared!

A bottle of wine is not a single serving.

It encourages you to bring a friend.

Don’t have any?

Buy a bottle and offer a glass to a stranger.

Look at you.

You’re making friends.

*sharing a nice bottle of wine is still cheaper than everyone getting a coctail.

Why La Merde is different.

Over 10,000+ hours spent in restaurants, and another 10,000+ hours spent making wine.

La Merde is not a robot… It has taken years of hard work to be this delusional.

I mean nerdy.

  • You like points? Scored thousands and even been in a couple different top 100’s.

    Not your bag? Also helped make the most popular domestic Orange wine with an MW.

    Who cares? … Everyday there is someone, somewhere around the world drinking a wine I helped make. Because the wine doesn’t suck.

  • I choose items that I wear with prices I can afford.

    I want comfort and quality.

    With original designs that get a conversation started.

    (even when it’s parody)

  • A percentage of proceeds will be donated to YCAP, in the Willamette Valley .

    Yamhill Community Action Partnership provides food to 17 emergency food pantries strategically located throughout Yamhill County. YCAP also provides food to six meal sites in the county and has programs for supporting local youth and unhoused.

Why with the two carts?

ALCOHOL IS A SEPARATE CHECK OUT BECAUSE SHIPPING ALCOHOL IS A WHOLE THING… I’M SORRY.

BUT ALL WINE SHIPMENTS COME WITH A SHITTY SURPRISE LIKE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CEREAL WHEN YOU WERE TEN YEARS OLD.

Back of a pin with a sidewalk chalk drawing of a shoehorn, red text reading "Pronounced AH SO".

- it’s La Merde

They say it takes a lot of beer to make great wine…

True.

Wanna buy me a beer?

I’ll send you a handwritten thank you card in the mail.

The real tangible mail.
