Our Man Wine Club: Yosemite Sauv - lots of bang but little buck (dang that was clever)



So the best newspapers have a wine club. Well, Our Man isn't in to clubs (and they are not in to him), but he does have a 7-11 and they've never refused him entry yet AND they have wine, so let's start there. Now, not too sure, but as far as Our Man can recall he spent less than 700 yen, may even have been 598 yen (about three quid) on a bottle of finest Seven Eleven Californian red Yosemite Road Cabernet Sauvignon (let's just call it Yosemite Sauv and be done with it).

BTW: In the interests of impartiality, all wine reviews will be conducted after consuming the whole bottle (and no spell check allowed). Then, you can judge the grammar and syntax and spelling and such to see if you reckon it's a good 'un by comparing it to other reviews - the worse the revcview, the better the wine.

Enough! Here's the review:

Alcohol: 12.5%
Vintage: Probably last month
Estate: Yeah right. Council?

Er, actually it was quite fruity but not sickly sweet like other dirt cheap wines usually are. It's a bit lacking in punch, but drinkable. Oh, and it's got no nose. How does it smell? Bloody aweful. Haaaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa.


You're-my-best-mate-you-are factor: 70 percent.

No, no, DK - it's called an educated wallet, apparently.

Thanks for bringing this one to my attention. It seems to have escaped the reviewers at my usual stop for wine-related information.
