Name: La Cappuccina
Variety: Garganega
Region: Soave
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Shop Review: Bright straw yellow in 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.
Review: When smelling this wine, with my new wine smelling techniques thanks to Gary V, I sensed a light, delicate, flowery smell. Swirl and smell, swirl and smell, I did this multiple times to try and find the right words for my senses (note: I have the technique, but not necessarily the sensory perfection to correctly identify different smells, I'm still a novice here, gimme a break). So when I tasted the wine, I definitely got a strong hit of honey and a light nutty taste. It was smooth and went down well. I liked this one, but the price, not so much.
This was not served with food.
Also note, I am still trying to figure out the proper format for these blogs and what looks best. Notice last time I used bullets, this time I used centered margins. I will remain consistent once I find something that suits my fancy.
