man, i thought it was really good...strong tasting but not at all sour or vinegery...and yea, it took a strong cheese to complement it. I can't find it in AVL but the little wineshop I worked at in Blowing Rock had it. I'd buy it all the time as my 'house' wine if I could. Currently, my 'house' is Concha y Tora. Pretty good for a 'quaffing' wine.
worst wine in the world would HAVE to fall the Thunderbird.
my dad used to work with a guy that would drink a 5th of T-bird after work every day and chase it with coke...I worked with them one day and apparently the boss was out of town and I watched him drink 2 bottles of that stuff in a very short period of time...'course, he was like 300 lbs....
I bought a bottle of 'Murphy's Law Red Wine' this past weekend and just finished it tonight w/ my past and veggies. It's a blend designed as a 'table' wine. Pretty tasty. Hearty and meant to be 'drunk' but a cut above at less than $10 a bottle.

Visiting my favorite Aunt on the day after boxing day and picked up a bottle of "organic" (containing no non-carbon-based ingredients?!?) cotes-du-rhone that got good reviews.
I normally just stick to Cabarnet Sauvignon but I've heard that cotes-du-rhone is good wine too.

Cotes du Rhone is what is known as a "regional" type of wine, while Cabarnet Sauvignon is what is known as a "varietal" type of wine.
Cab Sav is a grape variety and cote du rhone is a grwoing region taht may or may not use a cab sav grape in their wines.
quick little wine lesson for ya !
cheers!
Kung Fu is good for you.
I was actually aware of that distinction. However as I had never heard of the two varieties of grape that produced this wine I thought that not mentioning them (especially since I have now forgot what they were) and referring to the wine as cotes-du-rhone would suffice.

Wouldn't that endanger their organic designation?

The French, if nothing else, are super strict about their wine and what can and cannot go in it. they have way elaborate laws around wine alone.
I love France. i love their wine, their language, their way of life. Much more civilized in many ways than many other western countries.
mmm provence!
Vive la France!
Kung Fu is good for you.
CDR is one of my favorite wines...Preston Vineyards (CA i think) did a 'Faux' a while back that was modeled after the CDR style ...which I don't particularly know exactly what that style is...it just tastes good.
so when is this going to be mergedf????
