Imperial Canadian Sherry

Let's slum it and try this $8 bottle of what I expect to be shit. Science tells us that if I give you a drink and say it costs a lot, you will love it. If I tell you it's cheap drek, you'll hate it. This is cheap drek. But maybe it will be great, despite the screw top and the low price?





I suspect any drink that has fluorescent orange lettering on the label will be a big disapointment. Here goes.

It's the colour of weak tea. It smells like soda pop. It tastes like an ashtray. What the hell is that flavour in the middle? Tastes like rotten oranges.

Or orange pekoe tea left out for six weeks. Harsh, scratchy, and brings out my phlegm. Yuck. This is the drink of the homeless and maybe for cooking. Drinking it straight is just plain mean.

Now all I can taste is orange, or something like orange. Weak and putrid. Yuck.

Thank goodness Michelle bought some gin and tonic for later.
