...a bottle of wine and thou

Goat Roti

Price: $17
Type: red blend
Cork: plain natural
Rating: 7
Purchased: Jungle Jim's

I really enjoyed the heck out of Goats Do Roam Red, so I'm a little surprised by how disappointed I am with the high end version of the same wine. Goat Roti is clearly related to Goats Do Roam Red, but is more tannic start to finish. In fact, it dried out my tongue. It's not a bad wine, but I didn't feel it was worth twice the purchase price of the regular brand.

I honestly wonder if this is evidence that I've developed a taste specifically for $10 wines. Double the price and they're too bitter, halve the price and they're too sweet. Since I like having wine with dinner more nights than not, I can live with that.

It was worth trying once, but in the future, I'd rather have two bottles of the luscious Goats Do Roam Red than one of the Goat Roti.
