Another One Finds The Drain...

I bought this bottle of red wine a few weeks ago to give to a friend as a "classy" housewarming gift (Nothin' says classy like a foreign name written in shiny, gold letters!).  It's a 2006 Zinfindel from California called Dios Triumph.  I'm happy to say though, this bottle never made it to her!

What happened to the bottle?  My good friend Amy and I decided we needed to cleanse our palates after a bad experience with a South African wine (There's A Reason Why South Africa Isn't Known For Wine Making).  We decided to switch to a red wine, and the Dios Triumph was the only one I had on hand.

Why am I happy I didn't give this bottle as a gift?  Because this was another yucky wine destined for for the drain!

Maybe it was a bad bottle, the cork did look a little weird, but I'm not going to risk trying another bottle of Dios Triumph to know for sure.  The few sips Amy and I took were more than enough for us.  You're on your own if you try this one!

Until Sunday,
