Chateau Petrogasm

It’s an original idea and one worth watching: wine reviews that consist of a single image. Some of the implications are refreshingly clear (see 2004 DRC Eschezeaux or 2006 August Briggs Leveroni Chardonnay) while others are confounding.

I assume the destroyed television is a bad review but how can I be sure? Some people like to blow things up just as some people like metallic or chemical associations in their wine. Are we to associate the wine with the act of destroying the television deliberately or stumbling on it while taking a shortcut through a vacant lot?

I usually don’t bother to return to sites whose reviews are largely of wines that I’ll never be able to afford but I’ll visit Chateau Petrogasm again.
