Paso Creek Paso Robles- should be good but...

not my bag, baby (wink).

How many times can I get away with that "review"?

I am getting sort of disheartened... If a wine is from Paso Robles, I just assume I'll love it. But, maybe it's the double whammy. "Paso" in the name and being from "Paso Robles" should have made me think twice... trying too hard?

Kind of cute from the front label... but is this really a tagline that should sell me? Especially when I really think about it...

"Bold character derived from stubborn patience."

It's almost like they didn't want to make the wine.

Kind of cheesy from the back label: "... This richly flavored Cabernet Sauvignon is best paired with big food and spirited conversation."

I wonder how much "stubborn patience" it took for them to come up with that.

OK now I'm being mean. For no reason. It's really not that bad. It's just:

not my bag, baby (wink)

Paso Creek

Cabernet Sauvignon

Paso Robles (but vinted and bottled in Sonoma)

2005

$17.99 from Sendik's in Franklin. On shopping trip with the "other" Kevin.

Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel - sucked

... okay so it sucked, but I feel like I should give it another shot considering it seems to get good reviews.

Ernie, it really tastes like that one that you liked from Vinum Populi - that I hated and you loved. So it just might be that it's not my thing. In other words - - buy! buy!

Found it at Sheridan's Finest Wines & Generous Spirits at the Milwaukee Public Market for $21.99

BTW, this happens to be the most expensive wine I bought on this trip (by $1 whole dollar) - and I hated it! That might just go to show that I have no taste. But I know what I like.... I think.
