I found this to be kinda fun... like goodreads, if you stick with it and come back a year later it can be interesting to see what you've done in the wine world :D

NV Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut Yellow Label

Excellent.

Funny Story: I actually got this bottle from an abandoned house that I helped clean out. It had the liquor store security tag on it, so I didn't get into it until someone else decided to break it open.

I'm not the best at rating whites, but this one was pretty good.

2007 Baron's Bach Burgundy
(2008-10-07 17:51:24 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Baron's Bach Burgundy 86/100

I was a little confused at first because I thought Burgundy was a type of grape, but this tasted very much like a Cabernet Sauvignon. Then I looked a the lower part of the label. :D

It was dry and slightly sweet, which I liked.

Pour a little tannin in bottle of water and store it next door to a house with a grape in it. You'll get what I got.

Not quite that bad, but I didn't get much of the cabernet flavor.

The first glass was better than the second. The best Charles Shaw I've had to date.

2006 Charles Shaw Sauvignon Blanc
(2008-08-25 01:52:30 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Charles Shaw Sauvignon Blanc 70/100

Still searching for a good white. This is drinkable, but not something I'm planning on buying again.
