Variety: Soave
Region: Verona
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Winery Review: Bright straw yellow inrd color. Delicate on the nose, with notes of flowers and almonds. Dry, well structured and delicately fruity, with hints of bitter almonds on the finish that is typical of Garganega-based wines.
My Review: Very strong hints of apple scent, crisp to the nose. Lots of fruits jumping out at me. Not as crisp of a taste. Very unbalanced to me. The scent did not match the taste, it was very dry to my palette.
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95
Winery Review: A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.
My Review: Very dull scented compared to the Stoave, not a strong scent at all and just very bland and boring. Maybe a very slight scent of banana. Taste seemed to match the smell, dull and boring taste. Really not much there at all.
Variety: Nouveau
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $3.95
Winery Review: Bright and tangy, offering a classic banana note on the nose, with flavors of raspberry, wild strawberry and light spice. Modest finish.
My Review: Very berry like scent. Lots of strawberry and raspberry present. Smell is just amazing. Very acidic taste, lots of tannins present, makes your mouth almost chalky. Sharp flavor.
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $4.95
Winery Review: Roots, spicy and baked on the nose, with aromas that lean towards raisin. The palate is more gritty and acidic, with raisin, cola, and spic flavors. Darkens up on the finish, which is long and peppery, with adequate juiciness and a final note of tomato.
My Review: Fairly similar to the Beaujolais Nouveau, much more of a dull scent. Still very berry-like. Can definitely smell the hints of raisin. Tastes very much like it smells, dull taste with not a lot of flavor.
Variety: Moscato
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95
Winery Review: Primo Amore expresses the joy of discovery experienced when a wine drinker encounters the sweetness and enticing fragrance of this delicate wine. Moscato, known for its fruit-forward notes of melon and citrus, pairs well with salads, flatbreads, chicken and fish dishes, as well as desserts.
My Review: An extremely sweet and crisp smell. hints of tropical fruits are also very present. Tastes exactly like it smells, bursting with flavor and very sweet to the tongue. By far my favorite wine of the day. A slight hint of carbonation is also present.
