Meridian 2007 Chardonnay

I don’t have a better picture of this wine, and that’s fine–you just need to recognize it to avoid it.  This was an $8 bottle of Chardonnay, recommended by the liquor store (not my normal store, figures), and I thought it was worth a try.  I opened it in the morning–didn’t think to taste it (it was 6am!), just poured it in my Crock Pot.  Came home looking forward to the rest of the bottle and a hot dinner.

This wine–it was like some sort of byproduct of chemistry lab.  That’s really the only way I can think to describe it.  It was sour, and pungent, and bitter, and just no good.  It went right down the drain.  Not only that, but my chicken had cooked in it all day.  Awesome.

The bottom line:  Run.
