Moscato ( The People's Wine or Maybe Just Mine)

 


Name of wine: Moscato

Variety of Grapes: Golden Muscat 

Country of origin: North America 

Region of origin: Chesterfield 

Vintage year: 2020

Price:  $ 23.50

 

Wine Review : Fresh wine with a very pleasant aftertaste. Notes of peach, apricot, melon, pineapple. Extra points for the nose. An explosion of aromas, apricot, green apple, peach, upper medium acidity, long aftertaste, a wine that stands out. 


Wine Folly: Wine Folly stated that Moscatos have a nice sweetness as well as a wide range of sweetness. It also stated that it can have honeysuckle and pear scents as well. It was also stated that moscatos have a Frizzante which means it is lightly sparkling . It was actually very hard to find the particular golden muscat I was looking for but I was able to find moscato definitions. 


My review: I have had a Moscato before but that was barefoot and this time it was much better and the flavors were far more defined. I really enjoyed the scents and flavors of this one. When I did my Swirl and Sniff I got an abundance of fruit smells. It smelt like pears and grapes. This was very different for me because I am aware wine is made out of grapes but I have never tried a wine that actually seemed to smell of grapes. Either way it still had a pleasant aroma. It also tasted well with the caesar salad that was offered. It had a beautiful tent to it. I enjoyed looking at it in the glass just because it had a soft tone in the class which made me mentally perceive it as professional. It was also nice and airy while drinking. With a very faint finish which was light and made it easier to hold conversations after sipping it. Overall I would rate this wine a 9/10.

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

Image
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...
