 Name of wine: Willie’s White

Variety of Grapes: Traminette

Country of origin: North America 

Region of origin: Chesterfield 

Vintage year: 2019

Wine Review : 100% Traminette. Semi-sweet. Note of ripe peach and honeysuckle. 3% RS. 12% ABV This wine was named after one of our Vineyard dogs, Willie Nelson! ( hard to find reviews of the wine since it is so local. so this is the review from their site) 


Wine Folly: On Wine Folly it is also known as Traminer. It is a wine that has been treasured for the floral scents. It is also quite popular in Europe . Wine Folly also stated that it would pair well with spicier dishes such as Indian foods and as well as Moroccan. (Pg 114) The scents that can be found in this wine according to Wine Folly are grapefruit , ginger and rose. (Pg. 115) When I tasted this particular one I was able to smell honeysuckle and less fruit. It gave more of a natural aroma than fruity. 

 

My review: I personally enjoyed the wine. It was a really nice white wine. The last one I tried was very bad but this one far surpassed the last white wine. I enjoyed the natural essence of the wine. The aroma being more natural was very pleasant for me. I enjoyed smelling the wine and feeling like I was outdoors enjoying my childhood. While also not feeling too floral. It was also semi -sweet but still tasted on the sweeter than drier side. I really enjoyed the wine while I was drinking it. It went down smooth and it was such a good finish well also feeling it such a nice and light and airy wine. It also seemed to pair well with the dishes eaten which were crab dip and chips. The chips had a spicier taste which I think made it balance well with the wine. I would recommend this wine to others. I would give it an 8/10.

Malbec Wine tasting

  Name of wine: Trapiche Oak Cask  Variety of Grapes: Malbec  Country of origin: Argentina  Region of origin: Mendoza  Vintage year: 2021 Price:  $7.99( total Wine)   Wine Review : It’s a delicious wine but I’ll likely pay a little more to buy it from a local wine shop than buying from Total Wine. If you purchase it from Total Wine you will be inundated with multiple email requests to respond to surveys begging for you to review it.I bought this at a local store based on the reviews. No, this wine did not meet my standards at all. It was a 2019 but it tasted very young and harsh. Even after leaving it to breathe for a good hour and even trying it the next day, it did not improve.Great wine for the price. Must be decanted for 1/2 hr. Wine Folly: On page 125 of the Wine Folly book. It can be found that the Malbec is one of Argentina's most popular wines. It is a more fruit based wine that also consists of a nice bold mixture of fruit flavors. Then it wa...

Winery Visit: Ashton Creek Vineyard/Event Center

So this past weekend I took a trip with my cousin to the Ashton Creek Vineyard. It was a beautiful place even though there was no greenery to be seen, the views were gorgeous. We walked through and were able to do a flight in the dining area. Once we walked in we selected the three wines we each wanted to try. The flight list we were given to select from She then ordered some food as well. She ordered a crab dip and a salad as her meals with the wine. Once we sat down we then decided to try her first. My cousin talking to me as well as her flights So we started with her wine which was called Willies . After tasting that we were able to smell and feel natural tones but it did not have a fruity taste to it. It was also a semi sweet taste which most likely ruined the taste of our red since we started sweet to dry instead of dry to sweet. We then tried her moscato . That was a blissful experience. It had a nice aroma of fruits while giving me a light and airy feel like I could dance throu...
