    I don't see how anyone can drink the horrible wine served here. It is offensive and my opinon has nothing to do with wine snobbery since we enjoy inexpensive table wines but this is simply the worst wine I have ever drank anywhere in my entire life.

    The Champaine will make you gack too but if mixed with the juice at breakfast it probably can be drank without throwing up in your mouth too much.

    How anyone can say the wine here is good or even okay is beyond me. This isnt wine but instead the worst bile concoction excuse for wine you can possibly drink especially the RED.

    Please do your self a favor and don't drink it. Just my opinion because I care for you but I am not wrong and can't figure why someone would want to deceive you into believing it to tolerable in any way.

    Never had a problem drinkin the house red. Is it phenomenal? Not at all.
    is it plonk? Of course.
    Not the first or last time I have choked back cheap free plonk.

    But then again in the joint we drank rotton fruit stolen from breakfast, fermented (hidden) in some guy's cell. Cost a pack of smokes for a glass.
    And yes, I always drank it with my pinky raised.
    May as well been a 62 Rothschild to me.Behind bars that was livin it up.

    So I guess my standards are low but I will never complain about free wine.

    Suz says the same thing. She loves wine and at home buys quite a bit of what she gets off the sales rack. She is definitely not a wine snob. She may have a glass with dinner but other than that she finds the TTR wines un-drinkable. It must be total crap because I have seen her drink pretty much anything at home.

    I agree. Can't drink it. And I have been known to drink Mad Dog 20/20.

    I agree. Well, except for the prison wine part. I have yet to form an opinion on that.

    Also, I had to Google plonk. Great word! Thanks for adding it to my vocabulary.

    Convict wine aside, if you were having friends over, you wouldn't even think of serving the dreck from Temptation to your friends, right?

    I mean really. Lo buys the cheap stuff at Wallmart, Oak Leaf I think. 2.98 a bottle. Its actually sort of okay for around the house but when friends come over we sort of put it away because the 10.00 a bottle and up crowd will make the Ewwy faces.

    I remember Mom taught me how to make wine under the sink. Put a balloon on top and after it inflated then deflated it was done. That was pretty sketchy but better that the free yuck at TTR.

    Just a thought but I should mention that the house wine does change.

    We've had at least 4 different house reds on different trips. Our enjoyment of the house red has varied significantly based on which one the resort has on that particular trip.

    Keep this in mind because it can change!
