Wk18: Tisdale: Carbernet Sauvignon

This cab-sauv from Tisdale was a gamble that did not pay off.  I wanted a "classy" wine to pair with a "classy" Hamberger Helper meal and I thought $2.99 was a good starting filter.  I wouldn't recommend this wine even if it was cheaper.  Say what you will about Two-Buck Chuck, but it sets a standard that Tisdale could not meet.  The flavor was rocky and inconsistant with a sweetness that was unexpected and unwanted.  Adding grapes to beer would make a better wine.  Oh well, live and learn; they all cannot be winners.
