"Wines that don't suck" (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. This would be better if it said Chateauneuf-du-Pape on the label, because given the somewhat decaying fruit and the massive amount of brettanomyces here, I would maintain that Pegau was a much better guess than this. Lots of animale and funk, and plenty of dirtiness here, alongside some overripe and rotting flavours.

Blind Tasting...Wines That Don't Suck (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. I thought this a bretty Southern Rhone. Too ripe, probably slightly fundamentally flawed.
