No need for beer goggles with this. It’s all on the label and you don’t even need to uncork, at least not that soon. One company has released it’s Velvet Collection 2007 Marilyn Monroe Wines “Uncovered in the full monty.

They’ve created a wine label with a nude portrait of Marilyn Monroe. A chance meeting between the aspiring actress and Hollywood photographer Tom Kelley, Sr. in 1949 led to a two-hour photo session resulting in the scintillating “Red Velvet” series of nude photo-portraits of Marilyn Monroe. Among those photos was a double exposure which has now been separated into two distinctive images, one of which – “Pose 8” – graces the label of this Napa Valley wine.

There is a discreet layer over the titillating parts which can be peeled back from the label, revealing an original image of the 20th century’s most legendary and glamorous Hollywood star.

The 2007 vintage Velvet Collection is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. This blend of the traditional Bordeaux red varietals produces a wine of great structure and taste. The barrel aging regimen is evident in the well integrated aromas of French oak with the complex blend of grape flavors.

I wonder what our censorship board would have to say about this.
