When we were in an Italian restaurant in the Atlantis Marina Village, we ordered a Napa caberneigh sovereign. The wine list lacked years and when I asked they did not know the year. I was looking for a 1999 or close to it. We ordered it anyway it was about $80 for the bottle and figured it would be decent.

I am no connoisseur by any stretch, my wife is picky about how dry a red is, I like really dry she likes it to just have a hint of it.

So we go through the cork sniff and the taste. I knew right away she would not like it. I actually wasn't impressed with it, it had a bitter taste to it. I am such a weenie though, so non-confrontational. We took the bottle, as it warmed to room temp it got a little better (less bitter) but it was not an $80 bottle. BTW- It was a 2002, from what I have been told that is not a good year.

How do you send a bottle back? Is it polite to do so. I mean I know your paying for it so you should like it. I guess my point is I am too timid to send one back. I guess I am a chump.
