True indifference, and the DW ratings explained

Tonight's selection:
Wine:  "EastDell" Black Cab 2010, by Diamond Estates
Origin:  Ontario (VQA, Niagara region)
Price:  $12.95
CC score:  3 of 5 = MEH

Welp, I tried the EastDell Black Cab last night.  The experience prompted me to alter my rating template.  It didn't meet any of the categories, really, and I didn't want to over-complicate this sham-of-a-blog with a do-over, or anything that would take logic, or effort, so I've enhanced the middle score to reflect what I truly feel by MEH - that is;  I don't regret opening you per se, but I wouldn't bring you to a party where friends who 'know' wine might taste you.  Also, I don't feel totally comfortable putting you in stemware, so I hope you're ok with me drinking you from a juice-glass or coffee mug, you dig?   It's like dating someone you're mildly embarrassed of, and don't want your best friend to find out about, they serve a primitive purpose and you won't feel at all bad dumping them.  But you might call them in a dry spell. 

Maybe I'm being too hard on this blend.  After all, it is from Ontario and it will not (should not) taste like those ballsy new-world bastards I love so much.  It does have some things going for it - it's plummy, slightly spicy, dry, and its not over-bearing - this is a nice dinner accompaniment, less of a stand-alone sipper.  Perhaps it's the blend itself I don't love.  The company's website states the Black Cab blend ratio is 42% Baco Noir, 27% Cab Franc, 31% Cab Sauvignon, so perhaps it's too much Baco Noir.  I guess I like you, but I don't love you.  I'll might still buy you, though.

Addendum:  I frequently drink wine from tea cups, coffee mugs, rock glasses, tumblers, plastic cups in a pinch, whatever.  It's not the vessel that matters, so long as the wine is delivered to the body!  The inside of a coffee mug is no different than a Riedel bordeaux glass.  Anyone who says otherwise is a twat, tell them to fuck their hat.

The newly enhanced CC Score:

1 of 5 = LOS (leave on shelf)

2 of 5 = GTI (give to in-laws)

3 of 5 = MEH (meh, drink it in a coffee mug)*

4 of 5 = PFG (pretty fuckin good)

5 of 5 = TDF (to die for)

Just close your eyes and imagine Lenny Kravitz
