jon says: there is nothing like sitting down with someone you love after a long day and sharing a glass or a bottle of wine together. before i even open the bottle i already see something i like, a tab that allows me to open the bottle easier then trying to figure out a houdini magic trick. another big plus is real cork, i feel like the rubbery corks are fake and cheap. now down the the actual wine. at first taste, it was so sweat i thought i might go blind. i would not recommend this wine to a diabetic. but the further down in the glass i get the more i like it.
Sarah says: haha... Jon, I think it's funny that you mentioned the excitement over the real cork. That is very telling about the quality of wine we are buying. My brother-in-law today was telling me about some great wine, but then mentioned that it was somewhere in the $35-$40 range. I just laughed. We are wine newbies. $10 is an expensive bottle for us. Maybe eventually we'll get to those better wines, but first we have to suffer through these. If anyone feel the need to support our cause by purchasing better bottles of wine for us, feel free! We'd be happy to blog about it!
This wine is crazy sweet and fruity. My first sip I was blown away with how fruity it was. I'm not sure what it means to "cloy one's palate", but I think mine was cloyed. It's so strong! It tastes more like juice. I think this would taste good with an angel food cake. That cake isn't too sweet, and tastes pretty good with fruit, so this could be used as a fruit substitute.
Once I read that this should be enjoyed with a dessert, I went and took 2 bites of Liam's leftover birthday cake (I was hoping to get the full experience here). That was pretty tasty. I'm not sure if it helped me enjoy the wine, but I certainly enjoyed the excuse to eat some more cake! Speaking of Liam's birthday. We had a successful 5-year old birthday bowling party. It was fun, but exhausting. Good or bad... I like ending today with a glass of wine.
Overall: Indecisive thumb
