Episode 134: Charles Shaw 2012 Nouveau

Summary: What happened on the show? Bryan was featured on the season premiere of Diggers, did you watch it? Joe is juggling We are amazed at the amount of wine in the short, stout Charles Shaw bottle. Bryan and Kate explain that they have purchased a hammock for their fish Jen chews gum to relieve stress. We have a epiphany that it is epiphany and also that they screwed up the concept of Boxing day on an episode of MASH--why would they do that? Tasting notes: Strawberry, pepper and cedar on the nose. Wood, bubble gum, and fruit flavors. The wine has an acidity to it and seems to get harsher the more you drink it. Scores Chris: 69 “it is on scale with the worst Beaujolais Nouveaus that I have had” Bryan: 70 “It is definitely a D wine. There are some things that I liked about it at first, but not everything was consistent. Jen: 70 “It has crossed the line between real flavor and fake flavor” Kate: 66 “It is OK, its nowhere near really good there’s something that just doesn’t taste right. Bottom line, there are a lot of other inexpensive wines that you can buy that taste much, much better.
