Crappy Wine

Bodega del Abad

Gotín del Risc Bierzo Mencía

This is really good ( despite the crappy label). Nose of flowers, earth, and with time, chocolate. A mouthful of lovely blackberry and sour cherry. Great value for $15. Get some. — 10 years ago

Hey everyone! Riesling is sweet, crappy quality and overpriced! Don't buy any! (Ok, now that the people who don't like Riesling are gone...damn. Stellar. Tremendous producer. Outstanding vineyard. Wish I had a case to watch evolve over twenty-plus years. Wow. Can't get enough.) — 10 years ago

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company

Pale Ale

Very surprised to find this on a shelf at a very crappy grocery store in Estonia. 3 times more expensive than in Portland ofc, but hoppy and delicious as always. — 10 years ago

Mulderbosch

Coastal Region Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2014

It is strange to find a rosé with the power this one has. It tastes like the right thing, not a crappy thing created to sell just a color. I had it with sushi and maybe it wasn't the perfect combination since its taste was overcoming the taste of the meal, I ended up waiting to finish the meal in order to keep drinking. Will try with meat next time. — 11 years ago

Turley

Old Vines California Zinfandel 2012

Life's too short for crappy wine. Monster zin, but so refined and sexy on the palate. Admittedly needs more time but so hard to wait on these. I've surrendered. I'm a Turley whore now. — 11 years ago

Catoctin Creek

Petit Verdot 2011

Spicy black fruit nose, light in body and in flavor for a PV, but that is just a result of the crappy 2011 vintage. Sweet fruit attack, tacid is in balance, fine tannins. — 12 years ago

Château Cheval Brun

Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

In a town where everything is overpriced (Zermatt, Switzerland) this is remarkable value. Paid about 30Franc at the bottle shop. That sort of money would get you a half bottle of crappy Pinot in a restaurant. It's aged well, but feels like it's still getting there. — 12 years ago

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007

9.6

Poured from double magnum... For such a crappy vintage in Burgundy, this is truly outstanding.
The nose is very delicate, giving up barrel toast cherries, berries and a slightly sweet edge. Weightless on the tongue with an uncommon purity. An extended finish of rich dark fruits put a capstone on the "wine-of-the-night

They only made 16 bottles of the double mag. A rep from the domaine was at the dinner and asked questions about how the wine was obtained! $800 bottle I have never tasted a burg this good - killed new world pinots, hands down.

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2001

If I could bathe in this. Complex and complete. A must have from a producer who has made magic in crappy soils. Was one of the I bathed before. Now baptized. The most shocking thing aside is that this 2001 has hardly any rim variation. — 10 years ago

Domaine Boyar

Reserve Merlot 2012

The nose is immense and thick and Port-ish. Raisins, plums, maple syrup and caramel. It's full bodied and the texture is kinda grainy. The mouth has some good acid with flavored of cranberries, plums and raspberries. It has a CLASSY touch of sweetness and not a CRAPPY touch of sweetness. This Merlot is brilliant. 2012 Vintage. — 10 years ago

Crappy night at work, naturally i needed a magnum format bottle afterward. Actually quite delicious. Overripe blackberries and that oh so silky mouthfeel. Toasty oak notes with a chocolatey finish. Just what i needed! — 11 years ago

Coto de Gomariz

The Flower and the Bee (La Flor y la Abeja) Treixadura

I put myself in a crappy mood to see if this white would perk me up. Cold street slush splashed on me mood. When it hit my tongue, my eyes rolled back for a split second, and my mood lifted to battle the rage of winter. Balanced acidity, fruit blossoms, mandarin orange, with some bitterness to tone the fruits down, and apricot on the finish. Just what we need to have springtime move its ass! — 11 years ago

Château Poujeaux

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1997

Still holding up great. This is one of the best wines in this crappy vintage and a genuine overachiever! Smoke, coffee, pinch of poop in the nose. A sip reveals vanilla, fading black fruit, clay and comfortable acidity. Very good stuff! — 12 years ago

Château Phélan Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Opened for science and found it to be surprisingly open. Classic Cab/ Mer balance with unsubtle but not overwhelming oak and, a day after having a supermarket bottle of Baron de Brane with similar thoughts, makes me wonder if most Bordeaux tastes about the same, if I have a crappy palate, if we are all subject to the narcissism of small differences or all three. Thoroughly enjoyable. I feel like Guy Fieri right now. — 10 years ago

Az. Agr. Cravanzola Franca

Alessandro Veglio Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2007

2007 vintage. A little stewed fruit in the nose, however vino still packs a punch in the mouth. Softer and a bit less structured then if drank a year ago (or that could be my crappy storage situation). Rich, dried cranberry with soft but present tannins and lasting mouth impression. — 11 years ago

Decoy

Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2011

Light color and weird taste — doesn't feel like Pinot and is very flat or mellow. Will give it 20 minutes to breathe to see how it goes. I think I won't be trying any more Decoy wines. 2 crappy knes was just enough. — 12 years ago
