Lots of stuff I don't connect with.
Pinotage
Bordeaux after the mid 1990s
Many Australian red wines in this millennium
Why people seem to think Carmenere is so good (see 'pinotage' above)
Most South American Malbecs - they make the same mistake as the Aussies that sweet concentration must = quality (it may, however, = sales when it catches the approval of critics)
Many current Californian wines that mistake concentration for quality
