You Should Get The T-shirt, At LeastFour local wine connoisseurs invited to taste the wine described it as dry, pale and crisp. They compared it to a pinot grigio or white bordeaux.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, all three gave the wine a 7. All in all, a positive review.

The comparison came before they were told exactly what went into the wine. Afterward, they joked that it was the best insect wine they've ever tasted. It's also the only one they've ever tasted.

"I was surprised how similar it tastes to grape wine, said Derek Mahle, the Duluth area distributor for Quality Wine & Spirits in Bloomington, Minn.

"I've never heard of anything this bizarre," said Mark Casper, owner of Keyport Liquor Outlet in Superior.

"If I was looking for a wine made from larvae, I'd choose this," quipped Andrew Swanson of Fitger's Wine Cellars in Duluth.
