  • "Ripe and tropical version, this sports grapefruit, passion fruit and mineral hints, highlighted by bracing acidity. Builds up more concentration on the focused, spice-infused finish. — Aleks Zecevic" (From wineenthusiast.com)

  • When tasting the wine I first noticed the strong smells from the cup a scent that was dominated by sweetness, however as I continued I began to notices hints of lemon and cantaloupe the most. Upon tasting the wine I also tasted the cantaloupe as the sweetness of the grapes involved while the melony and lemon flavors pulled the sweetness into a more zesty and deep flavour. Over all I enjoyed it a lot and for the price as well as how easy it was to discern I would recommend this to other beginners.

Tasting - Stella Mia Prosecco

Image
Name: Stella Mia Prosecco Variety: Prosecco Sparkling Wine Region: Sicily   Country: Italy Year: 2023 Price: $15 Winery Review: Pale straw color. Aromas of dried lemon, diced pear, straw, and bread dough with a supple, bright, dryish light body and a sleek, breezy panettone finish with no oak flavor. An easy-drinking Prosecco quaffer for anytime indulging. Wine Folly:  Prosecco is one of Italy's most beloved sparkling wines. Made primarily from the Glera grape (formerly known as Prosecco), it is generally made in two styles, frizzante (lightly sparkling) or as a traditional sparkling wine. My Review: I enjoyed the light bubbly taste of the prosecco and also liked the fruity flavors that made it easy to drink. After a couple glasses I did however get kind of it but by then the bottle was finished

tasting- sauvignon blanc

 Name: Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Region: Marlborough Country: New Zealand Year: 2023 Price: $10 Winery Review: " Our Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, crisp wine that comes from vineyards in the South Island of New Zealand, where the cool growing season allows our grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity. Flavors of Meyer lemon, white nectarine and key lime integrate with subtle hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating into a long, balanced finish. Pair oysters on the half shell, creamy lobster risotto or a picnic in the park." Wine Folly: In pages 165 and 166, which reference Sauvignon Blanc and varieties that are grown in New Zealand, I found that the discusses flavors of typical  Sauvignon Blancs can be found in this wine, specifically grapefruit. However, I could not pick up on some of the more common regional notes. My Review: I thought that this wine had a much flatter taste than other whites I have tried. There were hi...
