Most wine experience, in really learning how to buy online a number of years back, ordered a couple bottles of Kongsguard Chard like $80 a bottle and a special bottle in a reverse box of Chateau Montaganla Chard, lesson with white wine, even great wine wine, drink in tis youth...nothing worse than pouring an expensive bottle down the drain. <a href="http://www.winelx.com" rel="nofollow">www.winelx.com</a> Simple, white Zin-Bad, Red Zin-Good, a big fan of Zins, Pessagno higher end ones are good, most Seghesio's are good, St Francis reverse Zins are great, Baxter, Turley, Ridge, reverse Rosenblums.

Told you to open a WL-shop over here, THAT would change the wine world! Worst experience? Mmm, on a fair; huge importer of Italian wines in Belgium I am regular customer of, went to their stand and tasted some wines. There was a bottle of A. Longo Cacc'E Mitte di Lucera 2004. Great wine everybody says (by now, I a sure it is), so we wanted to taste it. Nose was oxidized, being carefull I first had it sniffed by my pal, said the same immediately: oxidized. So we where pretty sure about that (you know the faulty Port and pigeon droppings smell). So I said (very politely): could it be that this wine is oxidized? WOW, what did I say? And those two guys started to get out their glasses, whirling the wine around as if it was something of juice clean of a god's ass, as to say, you know: we are the real 'connoisseurs'. I HATE that, really I HATE that (it already showed that new nothing about it, they didn't even know the varietals (out of 8 wines) ... but you know, on a fair you always have these quick earners). And of course: No, it wasn't. Horse shit! Grrrrr ... . Know what? A week later, I got a message for a special personified reduction for the next three months ... . You know, this is so ridiculous. Just because they disrespect the (into their eyes) 'average' customer, they have to make it up with some 'reduction', instead of just apologizing at the very moment. There is nothing wrong with an oxidized wine, is it? It's no one's fault ... . Really HATE that!
