I have been drinking wines for about thirty years on the a glass-a-day sort of things. I have organized a wine tasting club, which meets once a month. Over the years, we have tasted all kind of wines. But strangely enough. Everytime when we have the French wines, almost everybody disappointed. French Wines (Red) are usually too dry, too harsh, too sour, and too thin, as compared to the Napa's, the Australian, or even the Chilian. All French wines we've had were less than $30/bottle. Now I have a question: Does French wines in general of poor quality? Which I don't think so. Does all good French wine must cost more than $50/bottle or $100++? I have tasted some French wine of over $100/bottle with same disappointment. Do you believe the French wines are less cost effective, or less value when compared with the Australian. Or I have a BIG problem that my taste bud was killed by the cheap wines that I had over the years.
