- My Review: Can you say run on sentence with this guy above me, I mean come on can't you just throw in a period every once and a while, it really doesn't hurt to take a breath in between sentences and just calm down for real gosh darnit I can't believe how grammatically incorrect everyone is these days it really just puts me in a little rage fit geez. The wine btw, was incredibly interesting, I have seen very few sparkling red wines and I'll tell you, I was excited to try it. The last sparkling red I had was delcious, it was just like candy. So I took a whiff of this wine and it smelled delcious, sweet, berries, candy, just great. I took a sip and the bubbles immediately took over my mouth, it was cool, nice and fizzy. The taste was initially pretty sweet and I liked it at first, but then this strange bitter after taste came over me and it turned me away from the wine quite quickly. I got hints of banana and vanilla throughout and especially in the aftertaste. I was overall not a fan of this wine, I wanted to be because it was so different, but it just didn't fit right. Sorry sparkling red, you didn't cut it. And for that price? No way.
- And without food? Even less likely of a chance that I'd buy you, sorry.
This is my first ever blog and will be a documented history of my wine experiences over the course of my last semester here at Virginia Tech. It is required for my Geography of Wine course with John Boyer but I plan to use it for my own personal enjoyment beyond the lifespan of this course as well.
