Wine Review : Semi-sweet in style with notes of strawberry, pear, & creamed honey.Deep orange color, orange peel, apple, mango, and pear nose. Dry. Medium acidity . apple, pear, orange, mango and kiwi. Real tangy. These were the tastes from the most popular review on their website. 


Wine Folly: When looking at Wine Folly it was able to find Rose wines and it was stated that these are typically favorites among the people who have tried them but it was also stated in class that sometimes people stay away from them and try not to try them due to them being different. Chambourcin grapes are stated to be purple skinned and a hybrid classification of grapes. This is mostly produced in the US and in Australia. It is typically found in red wines but can be mixed with others to produce different wines. Vidal Blanc is a white grape hybrid that typically has a sweeter finish. 


My review: So I started by looking at the wine. It had a nice and pleasant color.My favorite color is pink so I am really fond of the Rose wines. I then used my tasting glass to swirl and sniff. The results of my smell test was that you could get the aromas of the honey. It was very strong and welcoming to smell the honey. I also smelt an abundance of strawberries which are my favorite so it was blissful to get that aroma of a fresh strawberry during the valentines season. It had also been aged for a year which I felt was different since on some of the others it was not pointed out how long it was aged. It was then time to taste it and I was kind of disappointed. It smelt great and looked great but then I went and tried it and it was bitter. It still tasted nice but it did have a bitter finish and I was not pleased with that feeling but the initial taste was pleasant.

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...
