Tasting - Cabernet Sauvignon

 Name: Bar Dog

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: California

Country: United States

Year: 2021

Price: $9






Winery Review: "Proving once again that opposites do attract, Bar Dog Cabernet Sauvignon is polished and silky in texture. Beautiful blueberry aromas combine with ripe plum and cocoa flavors, mingling throughout the long, expressive finish."


Wine Folly:The world’s most popular red wine grape is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux, France. Cabernet Sauvignon is loved for its high concentration and age worthiness.


My Review: This one was a first for me being that I don't normally drink red wines but as I'm trying to expand my palate thus what prompted the decision, not to mention I liked I liked the dog on the label. While drinking this I noticed that the body is much more full than the previous whites I drank. While drinking this I collected tastes of oddly enough slightly chocolaty or cocoa. There was also some deeper fruit tastings apart from your normal citrus and light fruits you would experience in a white as described in the description I did also notice the dark plum flavors but more fuller grapes as well.

Tasting - Stella Mia Prosecco

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...
