Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Every once in a while you get to experience a bad bottle. When you get a wine that’s bad, don’t feel bad about sending it back at the restaurant or retuning it to your local wine store where you purchased. This Pouilly-Fuisse was oxidized, where oxygen had caused the wine to chance the character of its chemical components. First thing I noted was that the color was a deep yellow and should be more pale. Aromas had Sherry like scents. Palate revealed burnt tastes. Clearly a bad wine. I’ll grab a new bottle.
