Just an ugly wine?Not sure if you are giving it the thumbs down? I think we all should get to taste it first and try not to prejudge a wine a few of us are interested in tasting. Please correct me if I am wrong?
Bob Ross wrote:Interesting, Bill. Do your customers like it? Or is it just a pretty face?
I think we have three different vintages, 2002, 2003 and 2004, so there will be a range of vintages, if not of opinion.
Please check the vintage if you still can.
Regards, Bob

What does "just an ugly wine" mean? that you didn't like it, certianly, I understand that. But why? "Ugly" is not a term I'm acquainted with in terms of wine reviews.Redwinger wrote:I'll chime in here. We just received this wine (I double check vintage later this week) but it was just an ugly wine. And, for a change, I wasn't alone in my evaluation. Great wine for the shoppe as we'll sell a bunch based upon name and/or marketing alone, regardless of what is in the bottle. Cash cow.

No cute animals then? Okay! If you're not going to drink that Cheval Blanc, can I have it?

Oh. I was hoping for useful criticism. Sorry to bother you.Redwinger wrote:Hi Isaac,
I think you're on the right track about me not liking the wine.
Further details on the Redwinger rating scale, including definitions of "Ugly" along with "'Pony Butt". "Panther Piss" and other favorite descriptors, will require a paid subscription to "What do Hoosiers know about wine or anything else, including basketball". Volume 1 is due out any day now.![]()
