Today we went to an exhibition of graffiti and street art. In fact it was a whole island of derelict shipyards and warehouses given over to spray can art, paste-ups and Banksy-a-likes. We had no idea there were so many possible permutations of grinning skull + Disney character + police = yeah, police and Disney are bad n’shit.
We’re hip-and-hapnin’ young tings, but by the time the ferry was leaving for home, all we wanted was a Turner seascape or Norman Rockwell postcard, and sometimes it’s like that with wine. Amidst the minimalist and maximalist labels, and the obscure grapes and revolutionary techniques, all you crave is a wine that has the assurance not to yell. These Hermann J. Wiemer labels have class and poise. Sure, they’re a bit boring, but on occasion we like boring, especially when the alternative is Banksy.
