Not All Wines Are Created The Same

A childhood friend of mine introduced me to the great Australian Shiraz. He collects nothing but Australian Shiraz, I shall call him AS? No. I won't. I shall call him DONG. Tasty Bits helped introducing me to the Elderton label and I have to admit, like sex, once you drank it, you'll always think of it.

And so there I was at Cold Storage, at the wine section again and thinking to myself, what can go wrong with a $24 bottle worth of unwooded Chardonnay? Everything.

Robert Parker rates this wine as if the devil ate asparagus and peed it out on God's green earth and man somehow made it into a drink. This would be what I would think of this wine and thank goodness Robert Parker never said what I thought he would say.

I bought this wine based on my familiarity with the label. I tried all their Shiraz and they all tasted great, so the Chardonnay can't go that wrong right?

Stay Clear.

I am no Robert Parker.
