My Review: Hmmmmm,
sparkling Shiraz? Who would have thought
right? Well, I will give these wine
tastings one awesome thing, the variety of wine’s they provide for us is
awesome! I was talking to the wine
person and she was talking about how they start the semester off with general
and well know wines and slowly are working their way into more complex wines as
we get better with tasting. I think if
you look through my blog you would definitely be able to see this trend. Back to wine… so this was different. First, I got hints of green olives on the nose. It was like you tasted the red and fruit and
then just a hint of olive if you are smelling in the right spot. Since I liked olives, I was ok so with it but
it was odd in a wine. Once I got over
that, I could go onto the taste. It was
only slightly fizzy but was a full on berry flavor. It reminded me of the non-alcoholic champagne
that you have when you are 18 years old on New Year’s. I think this would have been a good
dessert/after dinner drink to share with friends but you have to want
sparkling.
