WHITE TRASH WHITE AND REDNECK RED
Looking for something to impress your classy friends? You can try "White Trash White" or "RedNeck Red" from the Oildale Winery. The label touts its distinctive qualities: "Strategically planted between pumping oil wells and oil sumps are rows of grapevines. This blend of oil and tar-tainted soil lends itself to a wine grape flavor seldom duplicated throughout the world of viticulture."

My dad had two bottles of it at my wedding (to replace the good stuff at his friends' table) but now you can find it in stores for $12 a pop. Oildale Winery (coincidentally rhymes with refinery) tells the Bakersfield Californian that if they're successful with the red and white, they'll branch into champagne.
