Perhaps it would have been better last year. (3444 views) | | | Tasted by rperkins on 4/23/2007 & rated 79 points: All I could think of was "curant". One direction, mono-taste. Not worth the price, unless on sale. (3785 views) | | | Tasted by stercomm on 2/24/2007 flawed bottle: Nasty taste. (4438 views) | | | Tasted by LEXKYWINE on 1/28/2007 & rated 80 points: not a lot of boquet, somewhat weak finish (3734 views) | | | Tasted by tnc on 10/26/2006 & rated 85 points: Color: Plum, with orange edges

Taste: Soft Fruit, & Light Vanilla (1952 views) | | | Tasted by brutusbuckeye on 3/28/2006 & rated 65 points: This wine was definitely not a fat bastard. The color was thin and nose nearly nothing. Tasted like musty, sour grape juice. (1963 views) | | | Tasted by oyakodon on 10/28/2005 & rated 70 points: Watery, nothing special. (2089 views) | | | Tasted by babnik on 3/31/2004 & rated 69 points: I bought this wine because of the name and the price was worth a risk at $9.99. Thin color and a thin, watery taste -- not technically flawed, but not varietally correct either. Don’t waste any amount of money on this wine. (2426 views) |

David Schildknecht (7th June 2010) Languedoc-Roussillon Best Producers:http://bit.ly/do0LQa Vin de Pays d'OcThere are three tiers of Vin de Pays: regional, departmental and local.
There are six regional Vin de Pays, which cover large areas of France. The most voluminous contributor to this category of wines is Vin de Pays d'Oc, from the Languedoc-Roussillon area in Mediterranean France.
Each regional Vin de Pays is divided into several departmental Vins de Pays, of which there are about 50. The names are derived from the French departments in question and the limits exactly the same than the department's borders. For example, Vin de Pays du Gard is one of the Vins de Pays produced within Vins de Pays d'Oc using grapes from the Gard department .
The local, or zone-defined Vin de pays are numerous, and may take its name from some historical or geographical phenomenon, such as Vin de Pays des Marches de Bretagne or Vin de Pays des Coteaux de l'Ardeche, or even a more locally specific variant.] The boundaries of a zone may reflect a consistent terroir, rather than an administrative convenience, and could potentially in the long run achieve the status of an AOC.
