Big Red Gulp
Grape Expectations
Domaine Walmart "Merde du Pays"
NASCARbernet
Chef Boyardeaux
Peanut Noir
Chateau des Moines
I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
World Championship Wriesling
and my personal favourite
Nasti Spumante

Date: 2002-10-10 12:37 am (UTC)you are obviously
drinking the wrong stuff
a quality asti can be quite delictable
while I prefer a moscato di asti
to an asti spumante
I have still had quite a few excellent bottle
of the later
unfortunately it is a less prevelant wine
so only rarely do decent ones
make it to the broader marketplace
I have rather had to search them out myself
