Putting the Nebbiolo away for a while to see how it handles a few more hours of air I decide to try a few of the cheaper bottles that I assume won't be very interesting. Lambrusco was the biggest selling import in the United States throughout the 1970's and 1980's before becoming (at least to me) almost impossible to find.This $7 bottle is a mere 5.5% abv and looks like cherry Kool Aid in the bottle. Wasting no more time, its opened. And... it tastes just like cherry Kool Aid! Other than that it has the tiniest hint of carbonation. Way too sweet for me but tasting this allows me to see how the American wine palate has changed. Still, I can see how many might enjoy this one.
