Several years ago, a guy at work told me that Yellow Tail was a terrific affordable (a.k.a. cheap) wine. So, when I saw it on sale.... I picked up 3 bottles (it was something like 3 for $20). One night, the Big Dubya and I decided a glass of wine would be nice and we busted open a bottle of the yellow tail -- I want to say it was Merlot, but I can't be sure.
It was disgusting -- I would have preferred to drink a glass of Robitussin. We didn't even finish the glasses -- we poured them down the sink, followed by the rest of the bottle. If I recall, the Big Dubya noticed something suspicious about the cork and so we deduced that it was probably just a defective bottle -- those who'd recommended it had never steered us wrong before.... we must have just gotten unlucky.
Well here we are..... it must be 4 or 5 years later, the other two bottles are still on my wine rack. Not sure why I haven't either opened them or thrown them out -- but, I haven't.
Do any of you have an opinion of Yellow Tail that you'd like to share?
I think we've tried it and liked it. I'll ask the boss if she remembers.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had it in years, but I seem to recall drinking it and not hating it.
ReplyDeleteRiesling was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI had it not to long ago, it was not best nor the worst I have ever tasted.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate the whites. The Chardonnay isn't bad for cheap wine.
ReplyDeleteThe reds are too sweet and tannic. They taste overwhelmingly cheap.
YellowTail is over-rated.
ReplyDeleteHad the Shirz not too long ago and seemed to remember liking it. Again, not a great wine, but one to enjoy on the patio...
ReplyDeleteBTW this is a great idea for a blog. Hope you guys keep it up.
