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!

This was a rather disappointing Shiraz. On my first swig I tasted something I just couldn't quite place. It was an unpleasant flavor. After a glass, I still can't nail it. If I had to guess, I would just say it was rotten. Perhaps it's a bad cork. I don't know. I just know I don't like it. It's friggin' terrible.
Avoid this wine at all costs... unless you've received an unwanted dinner invitation and wish to ensure you'll never be invited back again. If that's the case, then take a couple of bottles. Pretend you like it, if you can stomach it, and they're sure to shun you. Your hosts will surely believe you mad and attempt anything to remove you from their lives once and for all.
Honestly, I think I'll pour the remainder of this bottle down the drain.
Sorry Leaping Horse. I don't enjoy giving bad reviews, but this stuff is awful. Perhaps I'll try another just to ensure this bottle wasn't urinated in by a disgruntled employee.
