Terra Felix - Marsanne-Roussanne 2004 - The name of this wine includes my favorite name in the world and my favorite person in the world's name. So, I was saddened that it was really, really horrible. Seriously. The taste made me wince. I poured it down the drain. Very sad about the whole experience.
Andrew Harris Highfields - Shiraz 2004 - Ah, nice. A lovely shiraz. The fruity and spicy are balanced nicely to make this wine not too overpowering. I think that people who don't normally like shiraz would like this shiraz.

i just read recently that if you have a horrible red wine you can put it *in the fridge* for a while and the chill will hide the bad taste.
i've never drunk a chilled red, but since you're experimenting it might be worth a shot with one of these you don't find particularly good.
Hamstergrrl, how ironic that the name of the wine contains the word "happy" when it actually made you sad. I hope it wasn't that bad.
Sparkle, chilling a bad bottle of wine is good advice... I've done it and it works to some extent.
I noticed the irony as well Fede :)
And, sadly the wine was a white and thus chilled already. I do put my reds in the fridge after opening and the cold does tend to restrain the flavors, so I have tried this with crappy reds and have had limited sucess.
I also wait and try the wine 2 days in a row if I am thinking of dumping it, just in case it just clashed with what I was eating (in the TF case, I had green curry & lemongrass chicken for dinner that night, which could clash with some wines, but the next night I tried it on a non-spiced up palate and still, crap).
