Wine Valentine

As Halloween approaches, how could I resist a California Red Blend with a lucky-dice-eyed skull on the label?

Many times an impulse buy proves positive. I liked the looks of the label. So, I bought a Blackstone Winery California Merlot

OMG! Recently, I discovered the Germans make red wine. Forever, my mind told me only white wines were produced there.

MAMMA MIA stands out on its label. A buyer can assume this is an Italian wine. And it is, a product of Italy (Vino D’Italia).

Fermenting in steel, rather than oak, was to bring the fruit taste forward. I wasn’t disappointed with the delivery: very fruity.

Robert Mondavi Winery is the first major winery developed in Napa Valley after Prohibition times. The winery produces outstanding, top rated

The grapes may have gone up the mountain, but this batch didn’t get that “mountain top experience”.
