Fresh and Easy recently came to town. I stopped by to check out their prepared foods and left with a basket of groceries. I wandered the wine aisle, looking for their version of a Two-buck Chuck. Sure enough, they had several wines for $1.99.
I chose the Big Kahuna Chardonnay.
I fixed crab cakes with the leftover crab from the Geurwertz tasting and oven roasted some veggies (zucchini, carrots, Brussels sprouts, peppers, broccoli).
The wine wasn't bad on first sip. But by the end of dinner it had lost all power to stand up to the food and take its place as part of the meal. A bite of vegetables would bring it back to half-mast, but it never fully recovered.
But it was two bucks. For the price, it wasn't horrible.
It felt very dry on the tongue and sharp to acidic on the finish.
Try the Shiraz it is typically quite good but can vary, thus the 1.99 price. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon! I'll do that.
