(The Office) and it's pretty damn good. If you say it's 4.24 per bottle, I'm buying a case. BTW, Mr. Anti Wine Snob, you are NOT a douche-bag, you just happen to have different taste buds than us who like it. :-) .................. Thanks OG! What you say is true: everyone has different tastes, which is why I love to see the comments posted here. And I hope you can find the wine for this price -- I have not bought a bottle since my original post, so I've no idea what it is selling for now. Perhaps you can leave an update. ........<em>AWS</em> I had it last night at a bar in Burbank, Ca. (The Office) and it’s pretty damn good. If you say it’s 4.24 per bottle, I’m buying a case.

]]> Comment on Delicato Cabernet Sauvignon by Andrew http://antiwinesnob.com/2008/04/03/red/delicato-cabernet-sauvignon/#comment-106 Andrew Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:47:45 +0000 http://antiwinesnob.com/2008/04/03/red/delicato-cabernet-sauvignon/#comment-106 I find Delicato Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 to be a delicious tasting carbernat. It has a smooth and subtle fruity flavor, without being sweet. There is a nice finish, with a slight but pleasant after taste. It is described as "black cherry and toasted oak tasting, with a soft aroma of cherry, light oak, and a dash of spice". I found it a satisfactory wine with dinner, or after dinner.

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:40:56 +0000 http://antiwinesnob.com/2008/02/20/red/camelot-2003-merlot/#comment-104 I bought this wine to try. I have to say it was the most "GOD AWFUL" wine I have ever tasted. I would compare it to a glass of vinegar. I have never experienced tasting a "fortified" type of wine before but have heard of them and I'm curious if Muskatel or Thunderbird would compare. I would never buy this again. The company that distributes this wine should lower the price or, better yet, give it away and stop selling it. And as for your website..."Anti Wine Snob" couldn't be further from the truth. Read the review above..."snifftest", "round", "smooth", "mellow"... How about just giving a review that most people who drink wine can relate to. For those of you who are like me and want a wine that has a good flavor and is not terribly expensive, this one is NOT it. Try Fat Bastard Merlot or Two Vines by Columbia Crest. ----------------------------------------- Hi T.A., I'm a little confused as to why you are calling the Camelot Merlot fortified, which, if I understand the term correctly, refers to adding alcohol to the wine so that it is stronger in alcohol than the natural fermentation process would otherwise provide. I don't believe the Camelot Merlot fits this description -- I even checked it out on their website (link is at the end of my review). And as for my website, well, I suppose I thought it would be helpful to provide descriptors to my tasting experience that ranged beyond "tastes good". I think "round" and "smooth" are helpful, modest -- and quite accurate -- adjectives. If you have better words, I'm certainly open to hearing them! .....<em>AWS</em> I bought this wine to try.

After the first taste I wondered if the bottle had been mis-priced. For $9.00 US, this wine is a steal! I will definitely be purchasing more! Just tried my first bottle of Black Swan Shiraz.

They are a negociant so they acquire the wine from different vineyards each year. The last few years it looks like this Pinot Noir has always come from the Valle Central in Chile. Nice review.
