I'm wondering what everyone's "wine to avoid" suggestion would be. Tonight I tried (oops) 2005 White Carmenère and it was vile.

I have a preference toward whites and find many reds to be "gym sock" like in taste sometimes, but i can appreciate their notes and such - but this wine was just overall gross. One review says it's like jalapeno poppers on the nose.

Just, yuck. Eww.

Any suggestions on what else to avoid in the future?
