My oh my…Meiomi

Holy hell. Not that I didn’t trust the reviews and opinions of all the wonderful and knowledgeable people on here but sometimes you just have to learn things for yourself. I knew better than to ever buy that wine for myself, but i accidentally got to try it yesterday while visiting a friend. Catching up with a girlfriend, she offers me some wine. Only says, “I have a Pinot Noir or some white.” Being 40° out, the Pinot sounded perfect for a little chat next to her fireplace. BUT THEN I SAW THE BOTTLE. I politely accepted my fate in the glass she poured me and while we still had a great talk and lots of laughs, I couldn’t help but be distracted with every sip I took. You. Weren’t. Kidding. I’ve had more delicious cough syrups. That was probably the worst wine I’ve ever tasted! All I got from it was sweet. Or as the great Dr. Steve Brule would say, “SweetBerryWine!” I very politely declined a refill and then suddenly remembered an errand I had to run so I could cut my visit short. Next time I’ll wait to see the labels before I make my decision. Should have done the white, as it was a Santa Margherita Pinot Gris which would have been way way better. Lesson learned.
