Yeah, this is an effing funk factory that's full of excess CO2...which means you need to grab the bottle, shake it like a Polaroid picture and toughen the f*ck up.
Because after all, this is Pegau and beneath the ugly duckling exterior there's an absolutely gorgeous, captivating wine just waiting to be unleashed.

Tart sour cherries, intense and full bodied. Tried with Taylor and friends at Mexican Food Factory on Rt 70 in Marlton along with a glass of Cape May Turtle! Another a little sour but what flavors! Bravo ... Thursday live band as usual 7-10... No cover too — 10 years ago

If C&C Music Factory and Arsenio Hall got together and wrote wine lyrics to Andrea Calek Babiole... "Things that make you go MMmmmmm". I'm sure it would be huge in the Czech Republic. — 12 years ago
Fruity & velvety, not sweet but not too dry. — 12 years ago
Good value! This is the top offering at Cheesecake Factory. Popcorn and cassis on the nose with flavors of spicy plum, tobacco, cedar, dark fruits and solid tannins. Needs an hour to decant to cool off the acid. Recommended! — 9 years ago
Quite possibly the most reduced wine I've opened all year. Like curling up in a tire factory. But. After an hour, a beautiful, light, red fruited and amazingly aromatic wine emerged, grounded by hot rocks and Sicilian spirit. Nice value and killer pizza wine. — 9 years ago

We're not in Marlborough County anymore, Toto. Forget the cat pee SBs, this is done right. Smooth, soft mineral. Some floral tones. Smells like factory roses. (Flower, not the wine) — 10 years ago

Our factory owners' favorite wine! A real treat while working in China! Makes me think about Shiraz in a whole new light! — 10 years ago
One of the very best values I've found. About $20 per bottle. Needs to be open for an hour or two before drinking it to get the real balance of flavors. Awesome every time! You can find it in Wake Forest at Bin 275 at The Factory. — 12 years ago

"From the slurp factory of Barossa," single vineyard from Ebenezer. Lifted nose: milk chocolate, wintergreen, vanilla extract, brambly dark berries. Bright on the palate with rich forest berries, finishes strong with black raspberry tart. In a great place right now! — 10 years ago
Wine maker Robert Foley. Luscious, young and powerful without twisting up on the palate. Rich, luscious and chewy, one can feel the tannins have had enough time in bottle to begin melting onto the complex array of flavored in the heart of the wine. Ribeyes and potatoes, all day, and with time to decant the '09 Jamesport Petit Verdot goes from a cantor to a rugged and thoroughly enjoyable gallop. A nose-coating helping of spice box envelopes the ole factory, and trademark characteristics of Petit Verdot become more clear with each sip. It's subtle but with oodles of staying power- and such is the finish. Bottom line: worth more than it costs- and a noble representative of a rising Atlantic Coast. — 12 years ago

Step into Wonka's Chocolate Factory and get ready to get sucked up the Gloop Shoot. This wine brims with cocoa cassis fantasy dreams but hear me now...to drink without at least a decade in the darkest corners of a cellar is to rob the magic of what it could become. Pouring it now would be like asking Harry Potter to defeat Voldemort after only his first week at Hogwarts. Let the wizardry develop in the bottle. Drink it with your filet in 2022. — 9 years ago
