Nice touch of gunpowder on the nose. I'm getting a little bit of bubonic plague on the back end. However, without question, rubber tire dominates my palette now. Gunpowder, plague and rubbered tire sums this up, a personal favorite from the FRANKENSTEIN FAMILY. — 10 years ago

One of my favorites. Beautiful Winery. Not too far either.

Patently absurd. This tastes like someone took leftover smoked sturgeon and stuffed it into a bottle to ferment. Also, the nose is heavy on the herbs, almost marijuana like. — 10 years ago

I feel bad. Every bottle you open is terrible.

I tossed this bottle in the freezer before I opened it, in order to dull what I expected to be "hideous and grotesque lemon juice qualities." However, I find myself regretful for doing suchness, as this wine appears to be above average. I will need to try this again, only this time I won't purposely ruin it before drinking. — 10 years ago

Remember the Threes Company episode when Jack Tripper accidentally dropped a fuckload of pepper into the food critiques food? Well this wine is like that, only this time I am the wine critic and I hate it. Dull tannins and spicy as fuck action on the backend. Someone get me some iced cream to cool my mouth down. — 10 years ago

Remember when you were a kid and used to eat those Chinese cherry candies? This wine tastes like a handful of those that have been sitting in a glass of water for a few hours, and then someone splashed a bit of vodka on top. As a 10 year old, that was a preferred beverage, starting off 5th grade with a 5th of Chinese cherry candy infused vodka. However, at 39 years of age, I find this wine to be a criminal act, a horrid display of wine making. If up to me, I'd have the government shut the vineyard down for violations against the people of the United States of America. — 10 years ago

I've had this one before! It also tastes of Cherry Luden's Cough drops and hopelessness.

@Nicole Sherrod that's exactly what this tastes like. Your palette has improved since your trip to Napa. Well done.

Growing up inside the sewer pipes if Brooklyn, I was accustomed to drinking out of bottles since the age of 9. This is my favorite prosecco, probably because I don't know any better. For extra style and class, I purchased the 16oz bottles so I could swig out from the bottle like a degenerate vagabond. — 10 years ago

This nazi wine literally blew up in my face. For that, I deduct 300 points. It tastes like a solid Alcoholics Anonymous offering. You know, not the hard stuff and sort of fruity enough to consider a soft drink. Like, I could totally drink this all day long and still say that I was "15 years sober and clean". Total garbage as a wine snob, however. And that my friends is exactly who I am: wine snob extraordinaire . — 10 years ago
