This is really a very bright flavoured distinctly fruity red wine that is surprisingly light bodied and just slightly sweet. It is nice and crisp with a smooth finish (no unpleasant aftertaste either), and was delicious with the Thai yellow curry we had for dinner tonight. It had just the right amount of sweetness to offset the spice in the food and would actually be really good with a fruity dessert too with its very forward strawberry flavour and a little hint of plum and melon, while still being very grapey and a simple, straight forward wine. Would be a perfect wine for Sangria and a great red wine for those who typically hate red wine. An interesting thing to note, the variety of grape used (Muscato) contains among the highest concentrations of antioxidant flavenoids. It is very drinkable, and we definitely will be buying this one again!

Whats going to be here?

Blogging, tho not really as a primary function. We try different wines all the time, and most of the time, if it's not a really memorable wine, when we head back to the store to look for something new, we aren't sure if we've tried it or not. I love wine, especially when it's good and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. So if you're interested in cheap but tasty wines keep an eye out here, most of the ones here will be under 10$ with the occasional one under 15$ and also the occasional one under 5$ (yes, really, there are drinkable real wines occasionally under 5$).

If you have any tasty wines for me to try, please leave a comment!


Disclaimer: I am not really a wine expert. I know what I like, I do have a fair bit of knowledge about wines, but I will not be looking at these from the perspective of a "wine expert". Also, pricing is for Washington state, if you're not from here, these may have a slightly different price.
