The wine I usually like best
The wine I usually like best is Old Vine Zin, and I like Cabs, but I don't have confidence in these. I'm usually disappointed by this sort of marketing thing. Whoever does try them, please report back. Thanks.

I do have some J.Garcia
I do have some J.Garcia inspired wines (cab, chard pinot) with cool labels of his watercolor art. Produced by Clos Du Bois, a reputable winery
They were not your average 2 buck chuck or MD 20/20 rot gut...

Knarly Head is pretty decent
Knarly Head is pretty decent wine, regardless of this "celebrity"/GD branding/marketing placed on it. I strongly suspect that, just like the celebrity branding on Cannabis, it is the exact same wine they already produce and sell though, with an added price premium for the "packaging", for better or worse. Custie Up...or not.

I've seen Gnarly Head wines
I may have bought a Gnarly Head wine in the past but don't remember. I don't buy wines much these days because I start the bottle and only have a glass or two and don't drink the rest. I do make red wine vinegar from what's left but I can only use so much red wine vinegar.
I wondered if it would be PLF thread, too, Mike.

Always avoid wines that spend
Always avoid wines that spend any money on marketing, are connected to a celebrity, have pun names, or fancy labels.

You'd be surprised how many
You'd be surprised how many "fine wines" are produced by one corporation with many brick and mortar wineries which share the juice / grapes from the same AVAs and vineyards. I worked for a corp that partnered with Gnarly Head on this. The corp which was involved in the production is also a producer of high end labels. I'd say for sure the branding is the main driver for this release, but at the cheap wine price point it's probably not bad at all.
