Favorite Dry Wine ( Wine tasting)

 Name of wine: Cabernet Sauvignon

Variety of Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon


Country of origin: US


Region of origin: Virginia 


Vintage year: 2017( served was a 2017 but only bottle able to take images of was a 2020)

Wine Review : Good body, spicy yet fruit forward with a hint of acidity.Wild raspberry, cherry, and blackberry nose. Body is a rusty clay red and light in color. Spicy body with cherry, peppercorn, smoke, blackberry, and cedar. Maybe over decanted, but this was super fruity! And jammy. Red fruit, black currant, jam, and raisins. Not my favorite. 



Wine Folly: When looking at the textbook I was able to find out more about this popular grape. It stated on page 88 that there was a moderate alcohol content with a very full body. It was also not made to be very sweet and they may play a part in some of the first time wine tasters dislike. It was then stated ( Page 88) that there are tastes of black cherries and cedar. It should also be decanted for a minimum of 60 mins and you want it to be paired with some grilled meats and many dishes with high flavor. 

 

My review: I did my wine and was able to try this wine for the very first time. I did my sniff test. I was definitely able to smell the aroma of cherries which made me concerned at first because I do not like cherries at all. It also had an intense smell of alcohol which was very off putting for me and my mother but the overall scent did seem to be pleasant. Once I tasted it I was able to taste a smooth finish but it had no real taste when sipping on it. My mom felt neutral about it and its taste. I can also say that this is properly my favorite dry wine. I typically like sweet wines only but thus was quite nice 8/10 overall.

    Individuals who consume wine in solitude typically refrain from opening multiple bottles, as this practice is generally associated with larger social gatherings. In contrast, during extended events, attendees have the opportunity to taste a diverse selection of wines throughout several hours. This aspect contributes to the allure of a wine party. To facilitate a delightful celebration, hosts should consider the following factors related to wine glasses (Mild Spirit Thailand).

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...
