Finally here is the list of wines that we didn’t care for at all. I don’t know why and I can’t explain it and I’m not even going to try to cover this one with platitudes. These wines had something deeply wrong with them.

• Peninsula Cellars 2007 Dry Reisling – dump it in a field.
• Peninsula Cellars Old School White – dull.
• Shady Lane Cellars 2009 Cabernet Franc / Merlot Rose – Watery and weak.
• Douglas Valley Bunk House Red – Vinegar.
• Chateau Chantal Naughty Red – Burning bakelite, repellent.
• Brys Estate 2010 Pinot Grigio – Hot and Blunt, best sacrificed in an earthquake.
• Brys Estate 2007 Signature Red – Dull and flabby.

I hate writing these criticisms and hurting the winemakers, but these were absolutely awful. C’est la vie.
