Community Tasting Note

• EMark Likes this wine:

  December 30, 2016 - Very much a barnyard nose. On the tongue, typical, to me, lightly red-fruited, but, then, noticeable tartness. Medium bodied. Very drinkable, and, for $14, good QPR.

My opinion, though, is that people make too much of food/wine pairings. My personal philosophy is to drink the wines I enjoy with the foods that I enjoy. I'm sure that comments like that will cause me to lose a lot of CT "cred."
