L'Epayrie

[Brom]

"Brom's disparaging words"

What disparaging words?

I certainly said the wine was ordinary - is that disparaging comment on an ordinary wine?

I said I had read it described as plonk. I didn't call it plonk, but others have.

I used as an analogy convenience store orange juice - a serviceable product of which there are many brands.

I acknowldged that the poster liked the wine and stated clearly it would be terrific if they happened to find some more.

I said it wasn't worth spending anymore time in seeking out this wine, which the poster had already said, albeit to a lesser degree.

I said that if instead of waiting to buy a case of L'Epayrie the poster instead bought a case of mixed wine he/she would likely find a wine they liked better.

The poster has stated he/she has already looked all over their city and is now making internet inquiries. At least three people have attempted to assist the poster. This is a lot of work for a $5 French NV.

Do you advise the poster to seek out a case of this wine?

Do you think it is bad advice to suggest to someone interested in wine that they try different wines?

Do you disagree that the poster not only could, but will find wines more palatable than the l'Epayrie?

What I wrote was my good advice backed with reasoned comment and seasoned with encouragment, not "disparaging words".
