Avondale 2004 Cabernet Franc – It’s Safe
Jan 21st
Avondale 2004 Cabernet Franc
South Africa
It’s safe
An interesting wine. Ordered it with dinner at The Element in Front Royal, Va. Overall, enjoyable. Can’t say I was crazy in love with it — but at $20 something a bottle in a restaurant, couldn’t say I didn’t enjoy it. With all the mediocre cabs out there, this probably goes on the “it’s safe” list, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to order it again.

André Brunel “Côtes du Rhône Villages” 2007 Cuvée Sabrine Red Rhone Wine Review
Jan 13th
“Some flaws add character — it’s the art of winemaking.”
Yeah, and bad writing makes the New York Times Best Sellers List …
… oh wait … well, actually, I guess it does happen, as is proved with André Brunel “Côtes du Rhône Villages” 2007 Cuvée Sabrine Red Rhone Wine — a 90 point Robert Parker wine, and a 91 point Wine Spectator wine, which smells like a sewer. It’s called H2S — Hydrogen sulfide — and it’s pretty gnarly. So what gives?
