Fourth wine review of the night. And we’re done! 
Bleh Blue Flame Shiraz 2009
Kelly’s Review:
- Looks: dark dark red, a little cloudy.
- Smells:honeydew, wet straw, capers, cake and a little funky too.
- Tastes: overripe peach, a little coppery, red berries, lemon peel. It’s a little dry. The copper actually lingers in the aftertaste making it a little less of a wine. I don’t like drinking pennies.
- Other Observations: I had to google blue flame and upon my amazement blue flame in Australia means lighting your fart on fire. I have not tasted this type of blue flame but I don’t think this wine is comparable to toasted flatulence. That would be an F.
- Final Letter Grade: D
Dave’s Review:
- Looks: Like maroon shower curtains on a cold summers eve. Gosh, it looks like RED WINE. I need to take a class on how to study the look of the wine. It’s bright, not brilliant. Looks a little bouncy. idk.
- Smells: Whof. Smells kinda cheap if you ask me. Like bubblelicious or wait Big Leauge Chew! Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket.
- Tastes: BLECK. Ugh. It’s like a ground up peach pit. Balsa wood and copper is not my favorite flavor profile. Surprisingly a long questionable orange rind finish.
- Other Observations: I am not a fan. Tastes like a plastic bag that once had a sour piece of hamburger in it. At least there’s a humorous anecdote if you google Blue Flame.
- Final Letter Grade: D
