Yup! That's the stuff!
Nobody was able to finish the tiny taster that was sold to us. The weird
thing is this is the wine they were trying to promote. You'd think they
would bring something better than that if they were trying to themselves,
but maybe that was the best they had. P
I've made a few pretty nasty wines when I was starting out but not one came
remotely close to this.
Too bad I forgot the name of the winery, I could avoid a few people a really
bad experience!

Hi Bill,

There's also:

Piquette

Yes, I have tasted Piquette. If we're both talking about the same
thing, and I think we are, then it was every bit as bad as you say.
Instead of throwing away the exhausted pomace after it's been pressed,
they sloshed some water into it and pressed it again and fermented the
juice! This was in the Loire Valley. What they got was a thin, pale,
washed out excuse for wine and the best that could be said for it was
that it was non-poisonous. (I think). I'm told it clears quickly and
is given free to vinyard workers with their lunch. And worth every
penny ! Merde !

Regards, Bill.
