Why? I can give you a rough idea what the reviewers will say before they even taste it. Reviewers who have liked SQN wines in the past will like the wines and reviewers who have criticized SQN will complain about the wines. SQN is controversial, so a reviewer’s opinion is heavily tainted by the reviewer’s personal preferences.
It is a reasonable question, but you’re dead on; the reviews never vary much. The “good” ones range from gushing to breathless; the “bad” reviews range from undrinkable to godless.
Yup. I did and when they called I told them they could drop me from the list. Obviously well-made wines. Not my cuppa and I’d rather spend that kind of money elsewhere and have no interest in flipping.
I’ve seriously considered it. I like them, and in some moods I like them a lot, but not at the current price. But SWMBO loves them, as do our dearest friends, and I figure that if I don’t drink them my son can dispose of them when I’ve gone to dust. Not exactly buying for investment, but there are worse vehicles in which to put the money.
I like them, too, and would be happy to drink a glass. I just don’t like them enough to be buying them regularly at their price point. For me, the whole flipping/cult name thing was probably made me hesitate more on dropping than the actual enjoyment/cost equation.
