In a move that may turn many a
stomach, LA burger chain The Counter has added wine milkshakes to its menu. As
reported on db.com, the milkshakes,
inspired by classic desserts, are being blended at select Counter restaurants
across Los Angeles. According to their creator, the wine helps to cut through
the sweetness of the shake, with the flavour more milkshake-like to start, but
with a wine finish.
The burger chain is offering
three flavors: Pinot Noir,
featuring cherries, chocolate and vanilla ice cream, Sweet Peach, made using sweet
wine, peach nectar and vanilla ice cream, and Mimosa, featuring sparkling white,
orange juice and vanilla ice cream.
Perhaps due to the ongoing
success of the Santa Barbara-based film Sideways,
in which the protagonist Miles extols the virtues of the difficult but
rewarding Pinot Noir grape, the Pinot Noir shake is proving the most popular of
the trio. The shakes can be found on pour at The Counter restaurants in Santa
Monica, Marina Del Rey, Century City, Toluca Lake, El Segundo, Torrance and Hermosa
Beach.
