Three days in the Okanagan Valley; 6/18/2011-6/20/2011 (British Columbia, Canada): This wine was $70 and the woman behind the bar was actually telling people that it's great to put in mixed drinks, or even jello shots. I wonder if the winemaker knows she's telling people such things... in any case, I would probably agree that's about all it's good for, though. The aromas are a little funky, though generic. It smells like fermenting apples. The palate is similar, but this time the apples that are fermenting are also slightly rotten. It has thick texture, but doesn't feel very good in the mouth. The finish is slightly tart, but pretty rancid, funky, and generic. Just a little bit of alcoholic sugar water.
