We bought some of this, luckily not much, but it is the funkiest (in a very bad way) wine I have ever tasted. Then I looked up a review, which confirmed everything: http://www.wineloverspage.com/wines/tn.phtml?id=599 Most of it has been poured down the drain.

It seems that there is a great deal of bottle variation, which is probably why it is available at the Bargain Bank. What is Bargain Bank's return policy? Most retailers will let you return spoiled wine within a certain amount of time after purchase.

Because of that, I seem to remember something about no returns. I might be going back later today anyway, so I'll check then. We didn't really buy all that much of it, so I'm not worried about returning it, but they do have it in their finer wines section. In any case, I find the lesson about brettanomyces very interesting, so this wine served a purpose after all. Wed Jan 24 07:25:05 -0800 2007 2219969 10658 Atomica
