Exciting! Do we know when the wines will be available on board? Are they already?

The red blend sounds good. I'd like to give it a try. :cool:

[TrqoisWtrs]

Hmmm, but will they be offered for under $20 a bottle on Carnival?

Surely, you jest! :D

They charge almost 30 bucks for a 9 dollar bottle of wine!

My daughter and I saw them on the wine list on the glory 12/27 cruise. We just kind of looked at each other- we had no idea there were Kathie Lee Gifford wines.

I have never considered Kathie Lee's endorsement of a wine to mean anything but the fact that her taste buds liked it and she got money from it!

It certainly doesn't mean that I'll like any of it and I don't find it exciting at all!!

Now if a famous chef or vineyard endorsed the wine , that would be different but Kathie Lee?????:rolleyes:

I own 2 wine shops in Ohio and have not seen it yet. Maybe not distributed in every state yet.

I agree and I sincerely hope the people pressing the grapes to make Kathie's wines aren't like the child labor used to produce her line of clothing in the 90s.

Yawn...

[love my grandkids]

Yawn...

 

Agreed

[crewsweeper]

Probably going to be way over priced. These appear to be non-vintage blends. Takes a good vinter to do a proper blend and these will not come from a single source vineyard. Branding all about the person branding, not the product.

[BeachyPeach]

Thanks everyone for your opinions. A special thanks to the person who said they saw it on board on a wine list. I'll be sure to give my opinion on the wine once I taste it. Gotta love a taste of wine...the only way to truly know if it's any good on your own taste buds. Happy sailing.

Would be nice if they had a tasting before we had to commit to a whole bottle.

[tkportersat]

I will give it a try on my next cruise if I can get it for a reasonable price...the red blend sounds really good.

[JohnSpo]

I tried both the red and white in the MDR. Both were medium bodied wines (not too light or too strong). Not overly sweet. This is the type of wines I like. They are versatile. They both went well with the cheese plate and the entrees I had. The prices were $7.50 per glass or $29.00 per bottle. Both wines are featured on the wine card that is displayed on the MDR table. I did see others ordering the wine by the bottle. I recommend them. Give it a try.:cool:

[RTRMom]

Yawn...

 

 

 

Agreed. I wish starbucks would partner with Carnival...but they are on RCCL?

[BeachyPeach]

While on the Paradise a few weeks ago, we were able to order KLG's wine by the glass in the MDR. I don't drink white, so I tried the red. All I can say is "meh." I wasn't impressed. My impression was that it was a bit more sweet than I'd prefer. I don't drink a red wine and expect a sweet taste. But, to address a pp, no, you don't have to commit to a bottle. You can buy by the glass.

I enjoy drinking fine wines and Scheid Family Wines are not them, cheap low end wine, good drinking for non wine lovers.

I was thinking the same thing.

Yawn.

Wonder why this matters to anyone. Not as if she is the winemaker.
