"Woop woop woop . . . makes you want to go 'nyuck nyuck nyuck," the Grapedonk said. "It needs to say 'ass,' so I can open up a Woop Ass." Commentary on the name nonwithstanding, this wine smelled pretty good . . . something like tobacco and cedar. On tasting, we would be hard-pressed to pick this as a Cabernet. Woop Woop is over-the-top sweet for a Cab. We'd guess it was a zin if we didn't know better. "That's what it tastes like!" Grapedonk exclaimed. "Jolly Rancher watermelon candy." If you want to try a strange Cab—that ain't bad—try this one.Originally posted at http://www.wineass.com/episode 74-woop-woop-cabernet-sauvignon
This "foofy-labeled" wine started with the "just flushed the toilet and opened the door boof-o-rama smell." And man oh man did it hit hard on first taste. If you were a conductor, you'd have the whole symphony going, Grapedonk said. Other than a bit of Scotch-Brited Revere Ware taste, it wasn't bad, though.After twenty minutes or so, this wine opened up nicely, with blueberry, dark cherry, and "smoky oakey, karaoke," kind of thing. Nice stuff, and a great buy at $9.99Originally posted at http://www.wineass.com/episode 70-mcmanis-cabernet-sauvignon
