A month or so ago s-in-law Yiannis arranged for this year's wine delivery. 2 x 20 litre cartons of white wine and 20 litres of red wine from a vineyard in nearby Korinth.
It was undrinkable. Plonk
Son-in-law Yiannis had given us the wine and brought quite a few litres for himself. Both he and K agreed it was unacceptable. A disgrace.
K was very happy when Yiannis told him he was returning it all .
The plonk was returned and another variety acquired from a different winery.
Life is too short to drink bad wine.
Fine-r wine delivery

That Poppi tasting the wares
Pinky in the air
And what has this promising young wine critic got to say about the new delivery?
'Quite nice. But a bit strong for my liking'.
She's a water drinker.
We say that about wine too! And books. Why struggle to read a book you're not enjoying....life us too short.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had your good wine here. But I've got used to the local. It goes down easily
DeleteGood for you Poppi. You know what you like!
ReplyDeleteLeave the wine for the Grandparents....
Athletes drink water. Full stop
DeleteGood the wine could be returned.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness. It was too much to put on the garden and such a waste to pour down the drain
DeleteShe could always water it down a tad - I do that with those dark reds. Glad you didn't have to pay for the bad wine!
ReplyDeleteIt looks my free day in Athens will be April 30th...as soon as I know where I'll be we can choose a place that's walking distance!
Nooooo, my brother arrives from Australia on the 27th and we will be away sightseeing for a week. We must keep in touch in case something changes
DeleteI recently bought two bottles of the same wine. One was 'off', the other OK. I shall avoid it in future.
ReplyDeleteThat was bad luck, and a waste of money. Wine in plastic bottles here can be like that. At least it's cheap
DeleteWine is an acquired taste, water not so much so!
