Wine from my girlfriend’s hometown! Great wine but tasted better than usual after I had a sip from a bottle of Pinot that had turnt… — 5 years ago

Not the right name... having trouble finding these 3 euro bottles on this site... anyhow, delicious and dry and consumed on an empty stomach on a balcony in Lagos, Portugal. The wind was strong and the company was great. This was the fifth or sixth Portuguese bottle we’ve had since I arrived yesterday afternoon. Time for dinner and another bottle or two of something new. I believe in heaven again... pairs well with a 3 euro price tag. — 7 years ago

This is the cab sauv, not the merlot. I couldn’t find the correct one… anyhow, good value wine. Traded a shelving unit for a bottle… was hoping for a better bottle in return but this will do. Pairs nicely with a Ted bundy documentary. — 5 years ago

Pricey bottle and fucking fabulous. Not worth the money unless you’re flush with cash or have a good reason to celebrate. I’m obviously in the latter camp as I’ll never be ‘flush with cash’ (1-Muz, delectable review, 2019) but I certainly had reason to celebrate! Sure, my leg is fucked and I’m on pain meds but I refrained from taking meds all night so I could enjoy the company of birthday boy, bassist and sound tech extrodinaire (French cuz he French) snaps Ducharme and later, best-dude, drummer, business partner and brother Philip nauseous at local champion pub, Arcadia and then truly begin the personal celebration... the wine is flavourful and hearty but smooth, much like myself after a bottle of wine, and I enjoyed it with my girlfriend after first having a glass of wine from a $20 bottle (plus three air miles... I’m saving for a special trip). I cooked steaks and steamed green beans and cauliflower which turned out extremely well, however, she may have completely changed how I eat steak from now on, which I’m ambivalent about... I know I’m not perfect but I don’t want to change my essence, I’m still trying to decide whether an Italian style of eating steak infringes upon my authenticity. We finished the bottle after dinner obviously having drank most of it with the food, and talked about the food, wine and life. This is another italianism I seem to have picked up, talking about food... so you can see why I’m cautious! I haven’t gotten to the reason for celebrating yet but my girlfriend got a new job (sadly, in another city...)! Conversation was mostly positive and optimistic which is fabulous because I’m still fearful of the future and what being apart this next year will mean for us. She went to bed early because of the heavy food and drink and the business of her last week; she also taught the first class of one of her spring courses this evening so I may not recommend this wine to dudes that simply want the ‘score’ although taking everything into account, the wine was only part of the reason... I stayed up later playing guitar and painting and contemplating the future with a slightly cheaper but quality Malbec and took my meds finally. This made me slightly tragic and sad but not so much that I couldn’t still be optimistic and hopeful for the future. If life is complicated but worth celebrating, I highly recommend this wine. It’s probably the second or third best bottle I’ve ever had and was worth the cost considering the circumstances. — 7 years ago

Meh… certainly not my favourite. Should have got the cab sauv or Malbec. Tastes off… although I just spent the day travelling from kingston so it could be me. I won’t buy this one again. Too many in the price range I like better🤷🏻‍♀️ — 5 years ago
