Okay, I had to buy it… Curiosity killed the cat. As I ran across Walnut Crest Carbernet Savignon from Valle Rapel in Chilie. There was a tag that indicated Consumer Reports rated it a top wine… Since when do the folks at Consumer Reports have a staff of experienced wine connoisseurs? I had to find out…
The good news is that it was only $6.99. It wasn’t awful. It was far from being awesome though. It has some nice Cab heat to it, nice berry. However, there was a nasty aftertaste that instigated the search for something to eat to cover it up. The label recommends serving it with roast or other heavy meats or strong cheese. I guess this is to cover up the aftertaste.
Another fine report from Consumer Reports… They also said my Volkswagon Golf sucked. It worked great for me and was a wonderful car!
All things considered, it wasn’t a bad wine – good enough for a casual glass with a nice strong cheese. And, you can’t beat the price.
Back to the comic business… and my impending move.
