This page will feature wines that need Wine Disruption. I am not promoting smoke tainted wines, sweet Napa Cabernets and many more wines around the world not worthy of you spending money on.
2025 Quarter Two Wines Disrupted
Almost finished with quarter 2 so might be the last one to disrupt. Well this wine was completely out of place at the great Walla Walla 2.0 tasting last night. Very boring wine.
- 2015 K Vintners Syrah Royal City – USA, Washington (6/21/2025)
Walla Walla 2.0 Event (Tonya’s House Minneapolis, MN): Well one of K’s top wines and no one liked this and got no top 3 votes. Motor City Kitty is much better. Smoke, earth, light fruits, dried flowers and dust. Just nothing exciting here and a boring wine. By far last place. (84 points)
$20 Pinot and Still disrupted. Got in a back and forth with some guy on Cellar Tracker and let me tell you this wine is crap sandwich! I call all wines like I see them and even gave 90 points to NV Veuve Clicquot recently.
- 2021 Keeler Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir – USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola – Amity Hills (6/3/2025)
Day 1: A simple wine with sour cherry, floral, celery and dust. Not very concentrated and even at $20 a poor value. 79 points
Day 2: For most young wines day two gets better when it is quality. This wine is terrible. Earth, dust, some fruit and short finish. What a boring offering. 75 points
Day 3: One thing as you drink a lot of wine around the world is that the worst and best wines can be Pinot Noir. I can’t believe how many sub standard Pinot’s come out of Oregon or anywhere else yet people pay these prices. This is such a boring, watered down offering on day 3 that it doesn’t even deserve a score.
Recommendation: Don’t buy it! Insane this is $45 out of the winery and a Total Wine go to. Thank you I only wasted a $20 on this crap. (79 points)
When someone who has a big cellar but does not share comes to an event and brings a sub standard new vintage it makes me angry. I bring my best at all times and this guy not so much.
- 2021 Mollydooker Shiraz Blue Eyed Boy – Australia, South Australia (5/25/2025)
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie at Lori’s House (St. Paul, MN): Another over extracted wine from Australia. Can’t imagine buying Mollydooker wines with so much better out there. Wish this guest would have brought a better wine as he has a cellar. High alcohol, spice, dark fruits and pepper. Just too big to really enjoy. Maybe revisit in 15 years. (82 points)
Well this might be one of the worst $100 wines I have sampled in a long time. $150 release price. I would have returned it but brought to an event.
- 2022 Mazzocco Zinfandel Antoine Philippe – USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (4/5/2025)
Ok this is for sure a top candidate for worst wine of the year. Molasses, spice, water and dried twigs. Not a flawed bottle but just not a very well made wine. How is a Zinfandel $150 and I have had one’s that are $15 that are far superior to this wine. (65 points)
