very good. a big wine--sweet but backed by the 6-month dryness of an amarone. we start with a mouthful of grape jelly and end with a bracing bitterness. heavy on the tannins; nothing subtle about...

a little too sweet for me...like biting into a superripe plum. but i guess that's not so bad. a softer zin with round edges, good for those who want one that doesn't make their knees...

yeah, this is right up my alley. thick as sludge, BOLD wine that somehow keeps a delicate touch, but barely. imagine a grizzly bear in a tuxedo. i actually laughed out loud when i tried this. very...

Never liked especially tart whites until this one. Very refreshing, with a lingering acidity that keeps developing. Enjoyed this in 90-degree weather.

Dear Simulacrum,

Hello!

This is Daniel Shin, studying in MSc Food Management at University of Surrey.
I am studying the consumer's wine buying behaviour online.
This research seeks the opinion of people who have had an experience purchasing wine either online or from other sources to investigate factors influencing customers’ wine purchasing behaviour in online shopping.
I have to find at least 100 people who have an experience of buying wine online.
If possible, could you send the questionnaire to members and ex-members?
It is linked to http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=jj73z5zbvz3kxvj610601
And if you cannot link to survey, please copy and paste the address on the web.
It just takes 1 min to answer the questionnaire.
I would be most grateful, if you could spare your time to send the questionnaire.
If you want to see research results, then I will send you after analysing the survey.
The research will contribute to a MSc dissertation in Food Management at the University of Surrey.
Any information provided will ONLY be used for research purposes.
All responses will be treated with the strictest confidence.
I am only in interested in obtaining consumers' views.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Shin
