Today’s review is a white Bordeaux.
June 16, 2015
When first opened the wine has a slightly fruity aroma. That does not last once in the glass. The color is pale yellow. This wine is dry, acidic and astringent. It reminds me of a house wine that one would find at an open bar at a conference. It’s certainly drinkable, but not something that’s totally enjoyable by itself. One reviewer compares this wine to New Zealand cat piss (more often referred to as cat pee). That is not a negative comment, but one that describes a particular quality of some New Zealand Sauvignon wines.
To be fair, I’m not a big fan of white wines in general. A white wine like this is the reason I prefer to stay with reds. If you’re a white wine fan, you may enjoy this wine. If you’re not a white wine fan, this isn’t going to change your opinion.
Price $6.99

This review is INSANE. This is a -highly drinkable- very decent wine, at 3 times the cost. At $5.99 is a steal. Buy it , you’ll love it.

I’ll give it another try. Perhaps a bad bottle?
