Says Ewing-Mulligan: "Seduction is so outrageous that it's almost acceptable," and it helps that the Wine Spectator gave the Bordeaux-style blend a respectable 89 rating. But there is White Lie Early Season Chardonnay--a de-alcoholized concoction selling for about $10 a bottle, aimed at women who are counting calories.
