I liked the fact that it was Fair Trade Certified, but that's about it.
The first couple sips seemed strangely bubbly and had a sort of musky aftertaste. Yuck. I immediately began to question if wanted to keep drinking it (for the sake of the blog) or if I should put it in the fridge and hope someone might stop by so I could pawn it off on them...
Enter my good friend Amy. The poor girl was enticed to come over for some wine when I told her she could be a guest blogger. We've been friends for over twenty-one years, but little did she know what I had in store for her.
After her first sip she declared it, "Tastes like rotten cheese, dirty socks, a barn cow with a lot of manure."
That's bad.
Against her better judgement, I convinced Bobo to give the African wine at least one more taste. After a sip, a cough, and a sputter, a disbelieving Bobo moaned, "It gets worse. It gets worse."
Sorry Amy.
So if you're ever at Grocery Outlet and you see this international bottle of chardonnay for $4.99, don't get it! It may claim to be, "Embraced by the winds, Kissed by the sea, [and] Guided by the stars," but it still ended up being poured down the drain.
