Comments on: The first EVER Battle of the Valleys! http://www.moodywine.com/2009/04/03/the-first-ever-battle-of-the-valleys/ Selecting premium wines for every mood Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:30:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Heather Findlay http://www.moodywine.com/2009/04/03/the-first-ever-battle-of-the-valleys/comment-page-1/#comment-687 Heather Findlay Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:24:46 +0000 http://www.moodywine.com/?p=138#comment-687 I used to love Kunde's wines, especially the Magnolia Lane sauvignon blanc, and I really appreciated their modest cost. But I visited a month ago and tasted through their current releases -- the Magnolia Lane was lamentably absent -- and I went from being disappointed to appalled, both by the exorbitant pricing and by weird "off" flavors like nail polish remover and soap. I thought it might be my glass, so I asked for a fresh one, but I (and my wife) continued to be shocked at how the appealing price/quality ratio at Kunde seems to have been utterly reversed. We left with a sad feeling in our hearts. I feel that in this competition it doesn't have a chance against Honig.

Thanks for the challenge.
