Community Tasting Note

• jdtonic Likes this wine: 92 points

  July 18, 2018 - Stranded at JFK—was the best wine they had at the (fake) caviar bar.
  
  Frothy bead and peach �� notes on this bottle. TBH, I found the sweetness cloying. There’s a reason that you find these “cheap” and that it’s generally the preferred vint of Non Wine Drinkers.. just the same. Not shitty.
  
  Btw: I find the yellow plastic wrapper cheesy like bad hip-hop..

The preferred champ for making it rain in any decent strip club in America......

  Just got a small clutch of the 2008 Cristal. I guess that’s like picking Mos Def and De La out of a sea of hip-hop... Ciao.
