On the cheapo train! A great $9 bottle of wine never to be had again, since the winery is out of business.

But seriously, Yellow Tail, what the fuck? If these poor dudes could make very good wine at this price point, why can't you? You have the economies of scale. Stop giving Australia a bad name. And stop your jackass commercials during the Super Bowl. As they (we/I) like to say, that was so "un-Australian" — 9 years ago

I'm not familiar with the commercials, but I am familiar with good aussie wines. I love cheap, good wines. But my palette has undertaken some serious adjustments, in large part due to Lentine and Rivard. It's all good, tho...

@TheSkip Ain't no $hame in that game. And as for yellowtail... on one hand, yes it's shit, but the story behind how they actually got a commercial is worth a read (Budweiser had exclusive category rights). They actually bought local spots in 70 markets, which cost them much more than if they could have just bought a national spot. They at least deserve a glass of something better than their own for doing that.

Nice note Skip. My tastes understand what I like not what it costs. Bravo Skip. Long live 9$bottles

Delicious. Notes of pear and vanilla up front, and maybe a hint lemon on the tail. Very calm and drinkable. — 9 years ago

Smoky, meaty, full of flavor but incredibly light, structure comes from acidity rather than tannin, almost ashy, like the tail end of a campfire — 13 years ago
