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!

Two lowly reviews for Sangiovese thus far. Since I know there are Sangioveses I enjoy, I'm not letting these two bottles get me down. When I was in Tuscany I certainly had several bottles of Sangiovese and Chianti which I absolutely adored. This offering from Santa Cristina is not one of them.
This particular bottle tasted sour to me. Almost as if I had stuck a dandelion in my mouth and started to chew. Well, maybe not quite that sour, but you get the idea.
This vintage has been put on my list of "do nots." I'm going to pass the rest of the bottle off on my friends this evening during our bbq...
