I tried this one, I REALLY didn’t like it.

I have found very few Aussie wines I could drink. I prefer French, Italian, and Spanish wine.

I don’t even like Californian wines (whites seem to be more forgiving.)

A friend brought a bottle of the Little Penguin merlot to my house for the 4th of July and found it be one of the best merlots I’ve every tasted. I find many merlots to have too strong a finish. I found this one to be very smooth. I bought a few other varieties and expect them to be as good.

I brought a bottle to my brother’s for Thanksgiving but we didn’t open it that day. He opened it a few days afterwards and sent me an email saying how good it was. He has an extensive wine collection and many are expensive and he’s a bit of a wine snob. This is the first time he ever sent me an email saying how much he like any wine I have ever brought to his house.

I think that says a lot!!

Have tried the Merlot and the Shirez and enjoyed both. Also tried the Pinot Noir tonight.

I also found this wine enjoyable, but it wasn’t fantastic… here is my review… http://chelsieswines.blogspot.com/2007/07/5-merlot-little-penguin-south-eastern.html

Bill just doesn’t get it. If somebody likes a particular wine, then that’s absolutely terrific.

Actually, the only loser here is you, Bill, since it’s your palate that doesn’t find this particular cheap wine enjoyable.

And instead of making junior high school comments like “this wine sucks” and there are “many better for …. the same price,” why not actually make yourself useful by stating which ones you like at this similar price and why you like them?

And stop judging/buying wine because of the cute picture on the bottle.

Sorry all, but this wine sucks. Those that like it, well, develop your palate a little. It’s overly heavy, too jammy/fruity and just a plain nasty wine. There are many better for around the same price.

You can buy it at Albertson’s in Surprise, AZ, and I strongly support you if you do. You can’t drink it at Albertson’s, which is a shame. You have to wait until you get home. My girlfriend, the Lovely Linda, a Merlot afficianado, pronounces it “very nice”.

I haven’t tried the Merlot yet, but tonight, picked up a bottle of the Chardonnay! Lovely! Oak-y, butter-y finish, reminiscent of the Chardonnays of old. I’m looking forward to trying the Merlot!
