This was the most undrinkable wine I’ve ever come across
Tasted like someone dumped a pound of sugar in this bottle, added some motor oil, and stirred. That is all 😆

Amazing how many awful bottles of wine are out there.

I had a glass of the Pinot Noir at a restaurant once cause I want to see what the fuss was. Hands down worst wine I’ve ever drank.

I haven’t tried the cab, but I sell wine for a living and we had folks from Constellation come to a Wine Manager meeting and we all tried the Pinot Noir. So so bad. So sweet. It was hard not to make a disgusted face

There are so many of these large production wines now that taste like this. Like they were made in a chemical lab. Bad wines 20 years ago just tasted bitter or nasty. Bad wines now taste like this. Nothing terribly objectionable but tastes like something they’d serve at McDonalds if they served wine.

It’s horrible. A friend gave us a bottle for Christmas because it’s her favorite. We couldn’t even finish a glass.

Just watched an old episode of Columbo the other day in which Donald Pleasance plays a wine aficionado and vineyard owner and at the end, right before Columbo is about to bust him, he takes the winemaker to a fancy restaurant and at the end of the meal orders a bottle of expensive, very expensive port.
To which Donald Pleasance’s character says, “What is this *liquid filth*?”
haha like dang BURN lol omg “liquid filth” will live with me forever 😅😂

Their Pinot is disgusting.

When people at the wine shop ask “Do you have Meomi?” I think “Is this some sort of test?”

Konstantin Baum did a tasting of the Pinot Noir in his most recent video and actually rated it 82 points, but it looked and sounded like an off-dry Zin

It sets the standard for bad wine. It needs to be out there to teach people about bad wine.

Joe Wagner sold Meomi for $315 million dollars with no land in the sale. $315. Million. Dollars. In 2017 they crossed the 1 million case production line. On 2021 they sold 20 million bottles worldwide. We all hate it. To me it’s not really wine. It’s a wine-like creation with intense sugar, sweetness, and probably Syrah (and a lot of Mega Purple). Turns out a huuuuge chunk of the world loves all those things. The Wagner family knows how to make money.

I think I also described this as motor oil, both due to viscosity and color😂

Decernment is a beautiful thing. It takes a few hundred bottles to develop complete pallet. An auspicious beginning.

I swear Meiomi had a few decent years. They were bought by someone and then tanked after that.

I’m actually surprised by the 13.5% AbV I would assume they’d want this to be a 14.5% hammer.

Would this be a good wine for cooking, maybe deglazing?

Congratulations, you have discovered that too much RS = crap wine. You are correct!

20ish years ago Meiomi Pinot served as an approachable, affordable wine that led me to others and helped develop my palette. Haven’t had it in many years. Has it changed? Or is it just a mass market wine that’s fun to dump on?

I think, as much as people trash the brand, with the decline in wine sales, the Pinot, as sweet as it is, is a great way to get into wines for those just getting into it.

So you’d drink Barefoot or Yellowtail over that?
