A week ago I stopped by TJ's to restock with another couple of bottles and rushed home to taste it. It was not the same wine, it tasted as if the bottle had been corked the day before. Not good. The next bottle tasted the same. Thumbs down.Alfadanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756078299377332292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913003692034378251.post-68710876367320357872010-02-17T16:34:56.086-08:002010-02-17T16:34:56.086-08:00Just opened a bottle.

I think this is true of most Bordeaus.<br /><br />Totally agree with the thumbs up.@Armond_Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842690120976910413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913003692034378251.post-90687333048880175682009-08-20T10:39:03.957-07:002009-08-20T10:39:03.957-07:00Those added sulfites really do seem to help things...Those added sulfites really do seem to help things.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435548959700076228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913003692034378251.post-47280546273385217432009-08-13T21:54:29.297-07:002009-08-13T21:54:29.297-07:00haven't tried this yet, but it's made with...haven't tried this yet, but it's made with organic grapes too. i imagine a far better alternative to any of the organic spanish offerings.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676492878203150710noreply@blogger.com
