An ongoing tasting of wines under the $10 mark, accessible in Vancouver, that we will post about regardless of whether we loved it or it was absolutely putrid. We will wade through bottles of bad plonk to find those hidden gems around town and hope that in doing this, you won’t have to do the same.
Hardys “Stamp of Australia” ‘08 Riesling Gewurztraminer - Australia
First question: Where’s the acid??
Expect tropical fruit and a mixed bag of 5¢ candies with some perfumed characters. Sweet, flabby and lacking acidity. Boo. I seemed to remember this wasn’t too bad for $9.99, but now I’ve put those delusions to bed. Check availability at your local BCLDB.
