Not sure what to make of this. Holy Spirits wine which includes Our Lady of Mt. Carmel’s Riesling Wine, St. Nick’s Merlot Wine, and St. Rocco’s Cabernet Sauvignon. Well at least they don’t have a Matt Talbot wine.
Quite a while back I did a story about Fr. Domenic J. Roscioli and his selling of fertilizer to raise money for charity and a product with the actual name of “Father Dom’s Duck Doo Compost. The products now come under the name “Father Dom’s Doo Good”
The fertilizer I can understand, just really don’t like the name Holy Spirits for the wine even as much as I love puns. It was Fr. Dom who emailed me about this in the first place.

i’m inclined to give them a pass on their punny name considering they will donate 15% to your favorite charity — that’s more than an evangelical love offering of 10%!
Actually, after completing our Great Adventure course, a friend gave each in our study group a bottle of Lacryma Christi wine from Italy. It literally translates to “Tears of Christ”.
Here’s a story on it:

As Stephen Colbert revealed, “God doesn’t like puns, sir.”
In any case, it doesn’t really work on that level, either, since “spirits” usually refers to distilled liquors, not wine. I’ve got nothing against paying tribute to the saints by naming booze after them, however, provided it’s of good quality. St. Peter’s Cream Stout comes to mind.
