"President Obama put Trumps wines in the spotlight the other day when he ribbed the orange-haired man for slap[ping] a label on some $5 wine and then they charge you $50 and say its the greatest wine ever.
So are the wines fantastic? No. Of the three publications I checked, (Wine) Spectators been brutal. Of five scores, the highest is 84 points (for the 07 Brut Reserve). The lowest is a horrendous 81 (08 Blanc de Blanc), which retailed (at the time of the review) for $24. Would you pay $24 for an 81-point wine? If you would, I have a candidate for you to vote forand, quel surprise, his name is Trump!
The birther-in-chief fares a little better over at Wine Advocate. They liked his 09 Blanc de Noir (91 points), but the 13 Meritage got a measly 85.
Then theres Wine Enthusiast, who gave Trumps son, Eric, who runs the winery, their 2013 Rising Star award (and before you ask, I had nothing to do with that!) A sweet 91 points to the 07 Brut Reserve, and 89 to the 09 Blanc de Blanc. But 82 points (ouch) to the 11 Rosé. Inbetween those extremes was a bunch of mid-80s.
So if you buy a Trump wine, dont expect anything special."
