May 6, 2010 - Come on people you know you like it . . .
For $5 you can't get anything better and to be frank it's better than some $30 bottles I have had in the past few years. Info on the Gypsy is as mysterious as the people it derives its name from. You know it's a wine made from the cast off; auction grapes the Napa producers won't put in their own bottles, but who really cares? Some bottles will be better than others and sometimes a bottle will completely surprise you by blowing your expectations away. I have had a 75 point bottle and a 90 point bottle out of the same case.
The wine almost always is a little sweet and once and a while so overripe you will just put it down the drain. There are no tannins to speak of and the wine is generally a one dimensional table wine designed to get you drunk and look sophisticated doing it. For $60 a case it is a decent everyday drinker for someone who just does not have the budget for a $200+ case of the good stuff. But again, who cares? Buy it in bulk and enjoy with friends during your Spring/Summer parties. Cheers winos!
