Sacre (Makes Me) Bleu

Obviously not every dish or product one creates or buys will be a hit, and rather than let it slide without little fanfare, I'm of the mindset to tell one, tell all.
Lately, Central Market has been advertising the heck out of the wine Sacre Bleu (read:  the culprit).

Not Wanted
No Reward
If You See This Wine, Do NOT Buy It!

When Googling Sacre Bleu to find a picture, I came across a Wikipedia article for "Sacrebleu."  According to 'Merica's most legitimate source of information, Sacrebleu is an old French profanity meant as a cry of surprise or anger.  

Great name for this Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon as after realizing that the wine lacked any body, legs, or general taste, I felt the urge to use a profanity to verbalize my displeasure at buying a crappy wine.  The company boasts the wine has smooth notes of dark fruits, but we both failed to get any of that; rather, the wine tasted closer to a glass of grape juice than wine.

Central Market, if you're reading this, NO!  No, No, No!  Consider this post a Notice to Cease & Desist. You're standards and quality are impeccable, don't stoop to making money hawking crappy wine with good profit margins.
