You would be the worst wine store clerk! I tell you what I don't like and you give it to me!
I got a bottle of Old Ghost 2014 tonight, paid $27 for it. Great big ol' fruit bomb! So ripe it is almost as sweet as a Port, but without the complexity and mouth feel. 15.9% alcohol, which means, with the 3 percent fudge factor, it is right there with the typical 20% for Port. And I like Port! But this was way towards the plummy/candy side of Zinfandel that I identify with Lodi. And the alcohol was overbearing/hot on the tongue. Got better with time, but I think that is because my tongue got numbed.
Steve would surely use this to defend his dislike of Zinfandel.
But hey, that's why they make all kinds of wines. Because there are all kinds of tastebuds.
