Yellow Tail's Sink Pourin' Cabernet/Shiraz Two Thumbs Down

Gentle Readers,

Open letter to Yellow Tail from Guest Blogger Joe B of Ma:

Your Cabernet-Shiraz is so awful that I poured 4/5 of a bottle down the drain in order to get the bottle stopper (TWC Note: Bottle Stopper? I know, I don't get that part either, but I don't think it matters). Seriously, it's dreadful. It has a grapey flavor, no depth whatsoever, and a nasty aftertaste.

I paid something like $8.00 American (I'm an American, but you can probably tell that already), and I feel like I got ripped off.

Your Shiraz is quite nice. I'd get a 150 ml bottle to open up with my friends. And the Chardonnay - not all Australian labels can pull off a good, quenching, enjoyable Chardonnay. The wife and I drink it on the front porch in the summer. Maybe you should replant your Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards with Shiraz. Or Chardonnay. That would be a good idea.

TWC Note: Joe drinks Chardonnay with his wife on the front porch because he knows that: LIPS THAT TOUCH WHITE WINE SHALL NEVER TOUCH MINE. Certainly a relief to both he and his missus.

Honest to God, I have never written a message to complain about a wine before. I'm not that sort of person. It's just that this wine is so absolutely awful that I was motivated to write this message.

So, you'll keep getting my money, but Good Lord! Not for anything with your Cabernet.
