TASTING - LT BLENDER'S SANGRIA IN A BAG



Today... we will be exploring the depths of wine in tasting Lt Blender's Sangria in a Bag. This is a non-vintage wine made in Galveston, TX, USA. This wine is made from the Grenache grape and costs $9.99.

According to a review on vinoshopper.com this wine is a delicious tropical mix with Grenache. With flavors such as orange, lemon and grape juice. A very citrusy and sweet tasting drink and I would have to agree. Upon first whiff I smelled orange, lemon and pineapple and tasted grapes, orange and lemon. This wine was enjoyed with some blueberry cheesecake which I feel like enhanced the flavors of both the drink and the food. According to wine folly page 112 a Grenache is a fruity wine with dominant flavors of strawberry, plum and grapefruit. This mix was heavily juicy and washed out a lot of the wine taste but not too much to where I would not agree with this page of text. Overall great experience and would recommend!

  TASTING - Flourish Chardonnay  Today... we will be exploring the depths of wine in tasting 2020 Chardonnay from Flourish. This is a 2020 vintage Chardonnay made from the Chardonnay grape by Juan Cerna in Mendocino County, Sonoma, California, USA and costs $13.99.  According to tourguidewines.com this wine "Smells like butterscotch, pineapple and vanilla. Tastes like melon, pineapple and vanilla." I could not agree more. This chardonnay was a very big vanilla oak aged flavored wine. I smelled this and immediately noticed the sweetness that was imparted by the aged oak barrel. I smelled apple, butter, and starfruit. When I tasted it, it taste of green apple, vanilla and chalk. A semi-sweet wine, I would recommend this wine. According to wine foley page 72, this wine is supposed to taste of yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, butter and chalk. With this, my tasting, and the review, I would recommend this wine. Tasted good by itself. 9/10.

  TASTING - TWO SHILLING RED Today... we will be exploring the depths of wine in tasting Two Shilling Red, an American Red table wine. This non-vintage wine is made from a blend of red grapes, originally from The Williamsburg Winery in Virginia, USA and cost $9.99.  According to titalwine.com this wine is a light bodied blend in the tradition of the wines of Beaujolais. According to 114 reviews on vivino.com this wine has notes of cherry, raspberry, black cherry and jam. A good fruity nose with no hint of sweetness in the taste. Personally I could not agree more. In my tasting notes I wrote that the nose of it smelled sweet adn fruity like dark cherries and plum and the taste was drier than eating sand. After the initial shock of how dry it was I noted flavors of raspberry, black tea and flowers. According to Wine Folly page 98, these flavors are what make a Beaujolai, Violet, black tea, sour cherry, raspberry, plum, boysenberry, potting soil and truffle are the flavor aspects...
