I have to find this wine!
I hope it's good ... it'll be the only one I serve from now on if I like it!
Thanks for sharing that!

Digging up an old thread here -
Brad or anyone else, have you had a chance to try this yet? I am working on building up my wine rack again now that im all settled in after the big move... and im a bit picky with wine, I hate opening a bottle and being disappointed. Id love to order a case, but would love some input first.
Thanks!

I've had it. They actually serve it on flights aboard ExpressJet Airlines. It's a Norcal guy who produces it. Not the greatest but an awesome gimick and it does provide the desired effect!

hey i'm sure its not actually made with real chameleons, but I'll take this time to share, when I was in china in 2 years after hong kong became chinese territory, I took a 2 week tour that started in the populated cities and worked its way northwest to the villages via a party boat on the Lei River
this region is extremely mountainous, all of the mountains covered in dense brush.
There were hundreds and hundreds of villages along this river, and as we passed them, they'd have have the fastest rowers try to approach the party boat in skinny gondala type boats to try to sell us things like figurines and art
man these things could fly, they were doing like 20+ by hand which is insane
anyways the reason I bring this story up, is in this region there is a popular wine prepared by catching all the venonous snakes and vipers and what not and placing large male heads in the jar to ferment.
its drank by the shot glass and is extremely powerful, my dad took a shot and said it was stronger than everclear.
the jar was very large and had some MASSIVE snake heads in it
this was beleived by the chinese to give you good luck and build your immune system for venonous snake bites which is very important in this region as there are only rivers and trails, and a few dirt roads
a crazy experience none the less, it looks like this wine is just package with some cham art tho which is cool none the less

Yeah, I heard about that stuff. It's a kind of saki, I think (Rice wine) and they also use whole lizards and various other fauna common in China's nether regions.

yes you are right! it was a type of rice wine, rice is a very strangely grown product too, I'm not sure why but rice paddies are underwater????
