- Shop Review: Rose salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms "lace" and "roasary." In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated "perlage" with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.
- My Review: The nose of this wine was tart but bitter, with spices swirling at the ends of my nostrils, strangley I also got a hint of diesel smell to the aftertone. Very strange, musty flavor, also slightly bitter but offset by peaches and dirty flowers. Oh and this wine was a fizzy rose, I forgot to mention. I enjoyed this wine, mainly due to its strangeness, it gave a little pop but also a little ugh...you know? Just different.
- No food
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.
