2025 The Year of Wine Disruptors

Buckle your seatbelt as Wine Disruptors is on the air and live. I have been kicked off more Facebook Wine Groups for mixing it up with people who think they are wine experts and are not. Even the so called experts are they really experts? For goodness sakes they rated 2022 Double Diamond high and even worse some give Belle Glos mid 90s scores. Time for a change my wine friends. I will be promoting 90% positive reviews on this site but when a wine is bad or overpriced it will be DISRUPTED!!!

Featured Disrupted Wine for 2025!

• 2022 Double Diamond (Schrader) Cabernet Sauvignon – USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville (1/25/2025)
  $75.00 Cabernet Plus Event (Liz’s House Minneapolis): This wine showcases the terrible wine reviewers in the world. As a pro reviewer and one of the biggest promoters of the tasting process in the world I was able to show 12 others at this tasting what is clearly wrong with this wine. OAK to start but then gets into a molasses on the palate/finish. The fruit is ripe and this wine is a complete disaster. So I was joking that some critic gave this 95 or higher and sure enough Jeb Dunnick did. WOW!!! Almost a slam dunk for top 3 worst wines of the year. The irony of this at the tasting was I always tell people do not go to Total Wine last minute to pick up a wine for an event and sure enough that is what happened.
  We live on Super Bowl Sunday with Wine Disruptors. Fitting this is the first wine to disrupt: https://winedisruptors.com/ (72 points)

Disrupted Wine: 2019 Orin Swift Cabernet Sauvignon Mercury Head

Orin Swift Makes some really overprice wines that hit the high end of the RS levels. Never been a fan of anything he makes but let’s be honest Americans like sweet things. Think Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnut drinks.

• 2019 Orin Swift Cabernet Sauvignon Mercury Head – USA, California, Napa Valley (1/25/2025)
  $75.00 Cabernet Plus Event (Liz’s House Minneapolis): Well this was drinkable but can’t believe it fetches the price it gets. Sweet as all Orin Swift wines are along with floral, ripe cherries, mild oak and burnt toast. Fine if it cost around $20.00 but this is over a $100. (84 points)
