Smoking Loon: the couple

 This was an emmergency buy at the Cala Food down the street to offer some wine with the dinner to our guests. A white SB and a red Merlot for $7 each. While I don't have anything special to say about the Sauvignon Blanc, the red was very typical Californian tastes: leather, redwood, skunk, crude oil... I'm sure it would make the day for many people but I'm not fan of it. I think that with all the chemicals added they should be able to offer a pretty stable wine and you should never be surprised by its content. May be wine drinkers are not aware that besides the "Contains Sulfite" mandatory warning, there are 50 chemicals allowed by winemakers in the US which don't need to be mentioned on the bottle. hmmm
