Casa Caldirola, Bardolino 2006, Veneto, Italy ($7)

Any hopes that this blend of corvina, rondinella, molinara, and negrona grapes might yield a tasty Valpolicella-esque experience at a measly $7 were severely dashed. Tasted like one of those unfinished bottles in restaurants that they still serve from the next day. Thoroughly unpleasant. Couldn't manage more than two small sips.
