Wine Review : They taste the way a light, floral perfume smells. The sensation is striking, very different from other grapes. What Muscats are is the taste of a wonderful wine.Yellow straw color. Aromas of peach skin, fresh lychee, jasmine, rose petal, elderflower, and ginger with a supple, lively, petillant, fruity light body and an even, interesting, brisk fresh-made paper, pear, and lychee soda finish with no oak flavor. A zesty and slightly petillant, dry yet juicy Traminette.


Wine Folly: It was told via Wine folly Pg. 138 that muscat is an ancient aromatic. It is also a variety that originated in Greece. It is also going to be extremely sweet but also has a high acidity since it is sweet as well as very low alcohol content. Then conversely is the Traminette which is also sweet but has lesser sweetness than the Muscat. This also has an extremely low acidity and very little tannins. (Pg. 115)

 

My review: This wine had a nice scent but no precise scents to come from it. It seemed to have more or less of an alcohol scent to me and smelt more like a mixed drink than wine. It paired well with table grapes and crackers. It had a very plain and very relaxed neutral taste. I felt it was a very nice wine and would seem calm enough to have a wedding or corporate event. My mom enjoyed this wine tasting. She was more of a fan of this one than any of the others. It also gave me a smooth finish and no bitterness. I felt it was sweet, and I enjoyed the sweet wine.

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...
