Looking back, the lack of freshess was really strange (that strong cinnamon note on the nose too 🤔). I didn't notice any visual signs of heat damage but I wonder if this bottle had been compromised!? It's hard to tell with these cheap wines! Did you get similar notes from this wine? I'd love to hear somebody else's opinion! I certainly don't feel like buying another bottle to find out 🙅♂
I love the budget, available wine reviews. Thanks for sharing them. I actually thought the Winking Owl brand fom Aldi was passable. I use it cooking, but I'm happy to drink the leftovers. Of course this is keeping the $3.45/bottle price in mind.
Thanks, that's great to hear! I don't have an Aldi store nearby but I'm working on getting my hands on some of their popular wines. Hopefully, coming to a video near you soon!
@@wine_turtle Cool, I look forward to the reviews. That said, the Winking Owl is ok considering the price. Not worth going out of your way for. I don't want to mislead you on a $3 wine.😅

thank you for your service delving into these dungeons
Haha this made me laugh! I'm glad my suffering has been appreciated. It was a dark time that I try not to think about!
