Award Winning Wines - Should I care?

[cpurvis]

LR, tutto dipende. Gold medal winners in major competitions aren't likely to be dogs, BUT they still may not suit your tastes. And who cares how many gold medal stickers are on the outside of a zin if you're lookin' fer big jammy stuff & ya get briars 'n pepper? Go with your tastes, or at least with those of someone you know has similar tastes.

As for the V. Sattui in your hand, "don't look a gift horse...", just pop that sucker open & give it a try. cp
