jumped right off the bus into the ceder cottage looking for a something to quench my working class thirst. two days before payday in the midst of a budgetary shitstorm (i.e. i blew my paycheque on bacon and shoes) and i'm thinking of wine. first the coats off then the corks out. this wine required about ten minutes to decarbonate itself, after that things got worse. the nose had hints of rising hot cross buns and a week old bouquet from a bad date. i detected koala piss and pineapple on the tongue. but after d&d was cancelled i went for it on this bottle, the buzz mellowed the flavour, but resulted with me waking up at 6:30 for work with a mid week hang over. at a mere 11.5% alcohol i won't make this mistake twice. it does however have a cute bird stamp on the bottle, foiled by curb appeal!
