Crappy Wine

Cliff Lede Vineyards

Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

In a crappy year Lede's made another solid wine. The house has earned its props, and not just from one Canuck to another. — 10 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot 2009

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

Leoville LasCases and Canon la Gaffeliere are also winners in 97. Poujeaux 97 is a very nice Poujeaux

Gnarly Head

Old Vine Zin Lodi Zinfandel 2012

My favorite. I needed it tonight. Have drank too much crappy wine lately. — 12 years ago

Gabriele Rausse

Virginia Pinot Noir 2010

Made a somewhat crappy evening rather tolerable. — 12 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

Château Simone

Palette Grand Cru de Provence Grenache Rosé Blend 2012

San Michele Soave Classico Garganega 2013

I love Soave, Soave Bola's success gave it a bad name, but man... when you come home from a crappy day of work, Soave is a good friend. 2013 vintage — 11 years ago

Wow, what a label!

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

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1999

The VT was the star of the crappy Super Bowl — 12 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

Torii Mor
