Hard Drinking III Journal 21

Weather:  Cool/Windy

Spent hour at pool and exercise room this morning.

----------------------------------------------- 

I think I have to hang my head a bit.  Several posts back I extolled on the quality of Quinta da Pacheca wine and by extension I was quite confident that the bottle I purchased last week would be excellent.  The reality was somewhat different.  

We opened it and let it breathe for a while before drinking our first two glasses.  Perhaps it is our taste in wine but frankly it just didn't measure up.  As Mary said; "our own Cabernet Sauvignon" is much better.

So we left the bottle for a few days and tried again.  Actually there was no change.  Sometimes wines improve if left for a few days but not this one.  Back to the 4.99 E wine

One caveat:  This wine is definitely superior to the cheap wine I had purchased earlier.
