Blissful and Dry Rose


Name of wine: Seastone Rose 

Variety of Grapes: Rose Blend 

Country of origin: Portugal 

Region of origin: Vinho Verde 

Vintage year: non vintage 

Price:  $ 8.99


Wine Review : This is a very light and dainty rose wine that has an effervescent quality about it. It has predominantly green apple and subtle citrus notes. It would be ideal for sitting out for a poolside breakfast on a hot summer day. It is so refreshing!I buy a case of this at the start of summer for Friday night happy hour. Light, refreshing, DRY. l like the effervescence- fuzzy but not like seltzer.( total wine reviews on this wine)


Wine Folly: according to the wine folly page 27 the color of this wine is pale salmon. It was also stated on page 60 that it is great to be paired with salty and crumbly cheeses. Was also stated that the Rosé wines have hints and aromas of white peaches and strawberries as well as some wild flowers. There are also many different ways to make Rosé wine and to have the different combinations with all different scents as well as flavors and which grapes will be used to make up the majority of the blend.


My review: At first glance I was able to tell that the wine had a glorious pink color. I love the color pink and it is one of the ways I pick out my Rosés. I then smelt the wine and was able to smell some strawberries in this wine but also got many different hints of citrus scents. It was like smelling a fruit bowl. On the first sip I was able to tell it was a dry wine which I was not expecting but in this case was a pleasant surprise. There is kind of a bitter finish but nothing too strong to cause a dislike. I do feel I would casually drink this wine but not offer it to others unless I know they like dry wines and not sweet wines. The dryness of the wine did overpower flavors for me though so I was not able to taste all the citrus items

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...
