Sparkling Moscato ( wine review )

 Name of wine: Gemma di Luna ( 187ml)

Variety of Grapes: Moscato ( Italian sparkling wine) 

Country of origin: Italy 

Region of origin: Piemonte

Vintage year: ( non vintage) 

Price:  $5.49

 

Wine Review :  Fruity aromas and flavors of peach sherbet, applesauce, golden raisin soda bread and pressed flowers with a supple, vibrant, effervescent, fruity sweet light-to-medium body and a smooth, delightful, medium-to-long finish with overtones of candied apricot, honeyed kiwi and orange relish. ( company site)


Wine Folly: according to the wine folly book it stated that the moscato has one of the lowest alcohol levels and pairs well with seafood ( page 139). This was very exciting for me because I eat a lot of seafood and I could never find a wine I liked that would pair well with it. Wine folly also stated that there were hints of honeysuckle and rose petals. I really felt this gives the wine the romantic feel people are looking for on special occasions. 

 

My review: When I smelt the wine it gave off very sweet smells but also fruit like. I was able to smell some peaches which were very vibrant. I then took a sip and couldn't not put a label on the flavors. It felt like a lot of flavors but they all balanced enough so there was no overpowering flavors. It was also a nice clean classy color of the wine which seemed to be able to sit well for a special occasion. I may have a grad dinner and will use this sparkling wine. I also read on the sites that it pairs well with lobster and seafood dishes which will be great with me since It is the only form of meat I eat.

    Beer and wine have long been essential components of celebrations; some people even consider them to be traditions. Because everyone is aware that traditional alcoholic beverages like fine wines and beers taste much better and more satisfying when served in the correct glass, the mood of the party is improved when they are presented in thoughtful glassware. If only elite or close friends and family are invited to the gatherings, this kind of consideration can go a long way (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...
