Yowza, yucky week....

Posted by Enophile on May 13, 2013 at 14:01:17:
Opened a Spottswoode sauvignon blanc for mother's day and got a solid whiff and taste of 'soy sauce.'

Never happened before. I asked around, it's simply a variant of 'volatile acids' being present in the wine; the most common being ethyl acetate.

Yuck.

Couldn't taset my way past it.

Earlier in the week, a friend brought over a nice red....and TCA reared in ugly head!

On the plus side, Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck Shiraz mixed 50/50 with their sparkling blood orange soda makes for some fine sangria.
