Psydr Short & To-The-Point Wine Reviews
Below are reviews of fun little finds purchased locally. The typical cost per bottle is $10 or less, and the label probably has a little more pizazz than your traditional Barolo. But don't judge the bottle by the label. These reviews are personal and certainly non-professional evaluations of wines we've tried. Enjoy!

A pretty smooth Chilean Cabernet with a not-so-subtle hint of oak. I rather liked this wine. I little fruity but very nice. If it wasn't for the slight overpowering taste of oak, I would have given the wine a perfect score. Not bad for an $8 bottle I say!
Take a bottle over to your next dinner party. Everyone should enjoy the bright label as much as the wine itself.

This wine is absolutely terrible, horrible, awful. It was so disgusting that I couldn't finish the first glass... and I really, really tried.
I placed it aside for a few hours in hope that time would breathe some non-wretched flavor into this unforgettable stew of ghastliness. No luck! Still intolerable.
Disappointing considering I gave their Cabernet Sauvignon a 4 STAR rating recently. I expected more. I don't know what else to say.
Sorry Llama.
