I'm not really sure if I've encountered this before... A wine that TASTES good but leaves you with the quick drunkeness of a cheap wine. For me, I am always able to drink quite a bit of a good wine in one sitting, but a cheap one always beats me. Beats me in terms of the fact I can't polish off a bottle with no hangover, and will feel pretty much immediately drunk.
By the way, I served it to my mom 2 nights in a row, and she INDEPENDENTLY brought up the fact that the wine was making her a bit more loopy than normal.
So, I'm not really quite backing this one as an everyday wine. HOWEVER, I am definitely backing this one as a party wine. What a steal! $6.99 a bottle at Cost Plus / World Market - it tastes goods and is guaranteed to make your party rock.
ha ha.
