When I bought this 9/2012 they told me it was a really Big red, so I thought I should hold on to it for a while. Recently I was told that Bottoms Up is a table wine and I should have probably already opened it - and that I may have waited too long. I went home and opened it and it was just fine, not round the bend at all. Good color, nice legs, and a nice long finish.

At $8 a bottle, this would have been acceptable party wine, but I have never seen a wine stain teeth as intensely as this one! If you are going to drink this in a social situation, be forewarned. After being open a while, the cough-syrupy initial taste dissipates.

Rich and raisiny, almost like an Amarone. It was great right out of the bottle but even better after it opened up a bit. We want to buy more of this.
