First wine Dinner Pairing

For dinner we had steak, pasta with Alfredo sauce, broccoli, and two flavors of ice cream sandwiches for desert. First off the apothic red was paired with everything. I did not like this wine with the steak. It did nothing. It was just drinking wine and eating steak, nothing complimented by each other. However, the apothic red went well with both the broccoli and the Alfredo pasta. The broccoli detracted from the bitterness, and the pastahad a weird taste that I have trouble describing, but I though it made the wine better. Next the Beaujolais. This I had mixed feelings about with the steak, the berry flavors didnt pair well, but there was a nice peppery flavor I got with the steak. The creamy flavor from the Alfredo went nicely with the berry flavor from the Beaujolais. With the broccoli, it didn't do anything. neglected to bring any flavors out. Now the Little Bosco was a dessert wine so we had this with two flavors of ice cream sandwiches. The first was the mint flavored ice cream sandwiches. Here the mint made the wine taste very very weird, and not in a good way. However, the Little Bosco with the cookies n'cream flavor paired very, very nicely. The vanilla flavors from both exploded and was a perfect dessert.

Hahn

Name: Hahn Piesporter Michelsberg
Variety: Riesling
Region: Piesport
Country: Germany
Year:
Price $9.95

Winery Review: This wine’s light, airy mouthfeel belies its sweetness and intensity of flavor. Honeyed pineapple aromas; similar flavors on the palate, adding gentle citrus notes toward the long, sweet finish.

My Review: As most Reslings it was sweet and dry, but had a little bitterness. It made it more interesting, and I really like earthy Reslings, which this also had a little of.

Tres Ojos

Name: Tres Ojos
Variety: Garnacha
Region: Calatayud
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price $6.95

Winery Review: 88 points – Robert Parker
"The 2012 Tres Ojos Garnacha contains 15% Tempranillo (I wonder why), and unoaked cuvée of 200,000 bottles that matures in vat for at least seven months before bottling. What I tasted was a very honest, fresh and fruit-driven red with aromas of cherries, garrigue and thyme with a medium-bodied palate, some weight and tannins that would do better with food. This is a red that sells for a song.”

My Review: I got a really cool rubber scent on the nose of this wine. It was pretty heavy, but i'm afraid that the taste was as unique as the nose.

Torre Castillo

Name: Torre Castillo
Variety: Monastrell
Region: Jumilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: 89 points - Stephen Tanzer
100% Monastrell, aged in American oak for four months. Bright ruby. Powerful, spicy aromas of dark berry preserves and lavender. Fleshy and round on the palate, offering spicy blackberry and blueberry flavors and gaining sweetness with air. Finishes smooth, long and slightly warm. "

My Review: I did not like this wine. It was very tarte and dry, like I needed water afterwards. It had some spice notes in the taste as well as some berry flavors.

Country: France
Year: 2013

Winery Review: 88 points - Stephen Tanzer
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, lurid pink.  Tangerine, raspberry and white pepper on the fragrant nose.  Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering zesty red berry flavors with a refreshingly bitter edge.  Closes clean and tight, with lingering spiciness and a touch of orange zest.

My Review: This wine had a very pleasant floral nose. A nice wine with floral tastes, some oak, raspberry, and pretty tannic. Overall, a nice wine, but nothing special. 

Terre di Poggio Laude

Name:  Terre di Poggio Laude
Variety: Pecorino

Region: Terre di Chieti 

Country: Italy

Year: 2013

Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Bright and savory, this floral scented Pecorino offers juicy tropical fruit and lemon drop sensations accented by notes of mint and thyme. The ripe fruit is balanced by brisk acidity that leaves the palate feeling cleansed and refreshed.  

My Review: Hints of floral notes, like rose petals on the nose. Got some nice acidity coming through, and and I did taste some of the mint. This wine just didn't do enough for me to want to come back and buy some.

Insomnia

Name: Insomnia
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Country: US
Price: $9
Year: 2012

Winery Review: Aromas of cedar box, dried tobacco leaves and mission fig lead to flavors of black cherries and sugar plums and a hint of vanilla. Enjoy this wine with beef stroganoff, prime rib, or a grilled portabella mushroom on a bed of rice pilaf.

My Review: This wine is both dry and smooth. It smells and tastes of cherries with slight vanilla hints to it. Overall, a pretty goes wine, I imagine it goes well with food.

My Review: I was never a chardonnay fan, but this is a great wine. It is very creamy, not very oaky, with a little vanilla flavor. I get a good taste of apples coming from it and just a fantastic wine. I would definitely go and buy this again and I highly recommend it.

Bolla Moscoto

Name: Bolla
Variety: Moscato
Region: Pavia
Country: Italy
Year:
Price: $9.95

Winery Review: Loaded with juicy exotic fruit, mature apricot, yellow peach and tangerine flavors, this sweet and delightful wine is perfect for Sunday brunch or picnics.

My Review: Very sweet as most moscatos, but nothing special about it. Its as good as most moscatos nothing that really makes it different from them. I would go out of my way to buy this moscato over any other

Name: Monte Degli Angeli
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Price: $7.95
Year: 2013

Winery Review: The aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.

My Review: It was a dry wine with fresh fruit flavors that came through. This wine was also not my favorite just nothing special or anything that grabbed my attention about it. I would not go looking for this in the store.

Monte Aman

Name: Monte Aman
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Castile and Leon
County: Sapin
Year: NA
Price: NA

Winery Notes: Destemming, slight maceration, which provides delicate aromas and freshness, then fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 18ºC and 20 ºC.

My Review: This wine had good cherry flavors coming through, but it didn't offer too much else. Some acidity to it, but this wine just didn't do anything for me. I would not get it again.

Tinto Classic

Name: Tinto Classico
Variety: 40% Trincadeira 40% Aragonez 20% Alfrocheiro
Region: Alentejano
County: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

My Review: The wine had a spicey finish to it, with cherry-like tastes. It was smoother than what I thought it would be. Overall, I kinda liked it, but was the bets wine I've ever had.

Winery Review: Paulo Laureano’s Classico is a delicious blend of the native Portuguese varietals Trincadeira (40%), Aragonez (40%) and Alfrocheiro (20%). This is a full bodied red that reveals all that the terroir of Portugal has to offer. Light cigar tobacco and soft leather present beautifully on the nose. Dark, black fruits fill the mouth, but the wine flows smoothly over the palate, with a good bit of spice on the finish. Pair with spicy, cured meats and hard cheeses.

Name: Laya
Variety: 70% Garnacha Tintorera 30%                  Monastrell
Region: Almansa
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

My Review: This wine was a little grapey to the taste and had some cherry tastes as well. I didn't like this wine very much something about it didn't really make it taste right. So I would not go out of my way to buy this wine even though it scored well.

Winery Review: A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera, a.k.a. Alicante Bouschet, and 30% Monastrell; fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak.  Bright purple.  Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on the nose.  Smooth and open-knit on the palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black pepper.  Finishes with gripping tannins and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind.

mars and Venus chardonnay

Name: Mars and Venus
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year:
Price: $5.95

My Review: There was good apple flavors that came through and I got some  citrus flavors. I'm not a huge fan of chardonnay but this one isn't oaky like the others. I still think its a good wine, but I don't think I would go out of my way to buy it.

Winery Review:A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple.  Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.

Name: Cortenova
Variety:Pint Grigio
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy

Wagner Finger Lakes

Name: Wagner Finger Lakes Riesling Ice wine
Variety: Riesling
Region: New York
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $10

Winery Review: Riesling Ice is a full-bodied, luxurious wine made from frozen grapes. Aromatics and zesty, each sip explodes with vibrant fruitiness and leaves you with a lively, lingering finish. Savor alone or along with dessert, fresh fruit or soft cheeses and nuts.

My Review: This is a very good dessert wine. It has a very unique sweetness when I taste it, I can't say what the flavors are exactly, but it does kinda hit you. Better yet it does not finish with this sweetness, but lessens in the end. It went well with the ice cream sandwich I was eating.

Offley Ruby Port

Name: Offley Ruby Port
Variety: Port don't know grape variety
Region Duoro
Country: Portugal
Year: nonvintage
Price: $12

Winery Review: Offley Ruby Port has an attractive and well defined red-ruby hue and lively aroma reminiscent of red fruit with some more complex notes arising from its ageing in oak wood. In the mouth, it has a fine balance between sweetness and mature tannins, it is well structured and it has a long finish. Its elegance and liveliness make it the ideal option for those who enjoy young and accessible Port.

My Review: This wine was hard to describe. At first it seems really sweet, but then the sweetness levels off at the end. I do get a strawberry taste to the wine with a very slight tannic componet at the end.

Name: Risata
Variety: Muscat
Region Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year:
Price: $14

Winery Review: This Moscato d’Asti is fresh, fragrant, and frizzante with vibrant, flavors and aromas of ripe stone fruit, tangerines, and honey. The wine is concentrated and flavorful, but not overly rich or heavy- sweet, yet balanced.

My Review: Very good wine, able to drink by itself. I would prefer to drink this as a desert wine. It was sweet, but not to sweet, and would recommend to new wine drinkers or someone who have a slight sweet tooth.

Twisted Zinfandel

Name: Twisted
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $8

Winery Review: Twisted 2012 Old Vine Zinfandel is medium-bodied with aromas of black cherry, red currant, blackberry bramble and a hint of spice. Concentrated ripe fruit, dark berry flavors
and black pepper carry through to the palate while nicely balanced acidity and plush tannins lead to a lingering finish.

My Review: This is a very tannic wine that I drank while I was eating. It had good cherry flavors and a peppery flavor at the end. I ate it with a cheeseburger, but it didn't do anything with it, but the baked beans I thought took the tannic flavors away and more of the fruity flavors were present.

Ruffino Chianti

Name: Ruffino
Variety: Chianti
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $10

Winery Review: This medium-bodied, well-balanced wine is approachable and aromatic, with classic Chianti aromas of violet and wonderful cherry fruit flavors. It finishes with spicy hints of wild cherry and hazelnut. It retains these fresh and fruity flavors since it receives no wood aging.

My Review: This wine is very dry. It has a fruity taste to it, but is very dry. I would expect this to be made to be paired with food and for casual drinking. I feel it would have gone well with pasta with a good red sauce.

Yellow Tail Merlot

Name: Yellow Tail Reserve
Variety: Merlot
Region: South Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95

Winery Review: Round, velvety and mouthfilling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price. Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruity, but with a slightly tomatoey note. Soft on the finish. Drink now

My Review: This wine tasted pretty dry, with some cherry flavors to it. I didn't particularly enjoy this wine. I wouldn't buy it at the store, but it is relatively inexpensive.

Takutai

Name: Takutai
Variety: Pinot Gris
Region:Nelson
Country:New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $6.95

Winery Review: Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy.



My Review: This wine was acidic with a peppery-asparagus flavor to it. I didn't really like the flavors tot this wine, but this is just my opinion. I would not go out of my way to buy this wine, but that's not to say that others wouldn't enjoy it. It was finally made with a lingering taste, but I just didn't like the teaste. 

Mars-Venus Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Mars ad Venus
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region:La Mancha
Country:Spain
Year:2013
Price: $10

Winery Review: Citrus and gooseberry aromas are mild but typical of the variety. A basic citrus palate delivers modest tangerine and nectarine flavors which lead to a mild, pithy finish showing light citric notes.

My Review: I got apricot flavors when I tasted it that wasn't very pleasing to me. Overall I didn't really enjoy this wine, and I don't think any of the flavors described above came through to me.

Crane Lake Riesling

Name: Crane Lake Riesling
Variety:Riesling
Region: California
Country:USA
Year:2013
Price:$5.95

Winery Review:Punchy lime and lemon mark this off-dry Riesling with a staccato rhythm, adding edge to honeyed tones of peach and honeysuckle. Exceptionally priced, it’s satisfying and elegant.

My Review: This wine was very sweet with a little fruity flavor too it. Personally I didn't think to highly of the wine, but it wasn't bad and would drink it if it was at the table. If i were to buy a Riesling it wouldn't be this one.

Crane Lake petite Sirah

Name: Crane Lake Petite Sirah
Variety: Petite Sirah
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Winery: Shows a certain rustic simplicity now, with youthfully jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants, sprinkled with cocoa and pepper and wrapped into dusty tannins.

My Review: This wine gave off strong dark berry flavors with what I got as a little oak flavor at the end. It was also pretty sweet for a red. I wasn't impressed by the wine, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

Blue moon Riesling

Name:Blufeld
Variety: Riesling
Region: Oregon
Country: USA
Year: didn't say
Price: $8

Winery Review: A departure from our traditional style, this sweeter Riesling is made with a slight spritz. It's delicate, with refreshing acidity, a delightful partner to many appetizers and entrees.

My Review:I thought this was a fantastic wine and would definitely have again. It was chilled, and had a mineral, wet rock smell to it, which was knew to me, but the taste was just great and crisp.

Apothic Red

Name: Apothic  Red
Variety: Blend- Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $10

Winery Review: A bold blend of primarily Zinfandel, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Apothic Red leaves a lasting impression of flavor and texture on the palate. Zinfandel offers bold dark fruit flavors and spicy notes, complemented by the soft mouthfeel of Merlot. The Syrah adds layers of smooth blueberry, while the Cabernet Sauvignon delivers ripe fruit flavors and a firm structure. This decadent blend is framed by hints of black cherry, vanilla, and mocha

My Review: I really enjoyed this wine. I thought the vanilla flavors really came out along with the black cherry flavor. I would definitely recommend this wine to anybody. I felt the flavors just came together really well and it just tasted really well.

Name: Beaujolais

Region: Burgundy
Country: France
Year: 2013

Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $10

Winery Review: I could not find a review for this.

My Review: The wine was very sweet with a little bit of carbonation. I absolutely loved the wine was very good by itself, and was perfect after dinner wine. I got some raspberry flavor along with a floral kinda smell. I would recommend as I would probably buy again.

Name: El Cortijillo

Variety: Verdejo

Region: La Mancha

Country: Spain

Year: 2013

Price: ~ $9-$10

Winery Review: light, bright yellow. Lively mineral-accented aromas of lemon pith and green apple, with a white pepper topnote. Zesty citrus fruit flavors show good clarity and intensity, as well as a slight tartness. The dry, tightly wound finish repeats the lemon note and leaves a bitter quince taste behind. No excess fat here."

- Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (September/October 2014), 87 pts

My Review: I really enjoyed this wine! It had a nice citrus lemony taste that I believed would go great with seafood. It was light, it tasted good, and I would recommend this to everyone.

Name: Resonata
Variety:Nero D'Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95

Winery Review: The grapes are soft pressed and the juice is placed in stainless steel along with the skins for a maceration of 8 to 10 days with daily pumping over of the juice to extract more color and sweet tannins. Dense ruby red with violet reflections. Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice. Harmonious and well balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background. Excellent with lamb, grilled and barbecued meats, dishes with olives or capers and seasoned cheeses.

My Review: This red wine was very dry, which makes me believe it would pair well with food, but i was not eating anything while tasting this wine. I didn't enjoy it, but this could change if I tried it with a meal. It had a a little bit of a spicy taste to it, but i could not find the other flavors.

Name: Canyon Road 
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2013

Winery Review: Rich, fruit forward cherry flavors, soft tannins, a medium body and a smooth velvety finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, salmon, and savory pork dishes.

My Review: This was a smooth pinot with clear cherry flavors. It wasn't as tannic as most reds, which leads me to think it might not be the best pair with steak, but i would enjoy drink it casually without a meal.

Name: Maipe
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish.

My Review: This wine was hard for me to describe cause i haven't expanded my pallet to large, but it tasted different. I ended up not enjoying this wine, I can't really put my finger on it, but it just tasted odd.

Hugel

Name: Hugl
Variety: Grüner Veltliner
Region: Niederösterreich
Country: Austria
Year: 2013

Angove Sparkling Muscat

Name: Angove Sparkling Muscat
Variety: Zibibbo
Region: Southern Australia
Country: Australia
Year:
Price: $18

Winery Review: The Zibibbo variety is noted for its delightfully fresh aromas and light fresh palate making it the ideal variety to use in sparkling wine. The variety is part of the Muscat family and is delightfully fresh, this frothy, sweet ‘alfresco’ sparkling wine displays crisp floral aromas with citrus peel and creamy flavors on the palate. Pale straw in color, the wine shouts of celebration and exuberance, and with a modest 8% alcohol, is ideal on a lazy sunny afternoon with friends.

My Review: I really enjoyed this wine. It may be because it was sweet and crisp as a sparkling wine should be, and my pallet isn't refined enough for some of the heavier wines yet, but I did really enjoy it. As stated before it was sweet, crisp, fresh, and was just nice on the taste buds.

Fiver Rivers Merlot 2011

Name: Fiver Rivers
Variety: Merlot
Region: Monterey, California
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $18

Winery Review:Ripe cherry and blackberry fruit stars in this easy-drinking wine, with oak providing toasty sweetness. It’s an everyday, cheeseburger-friendly Merlot.

My Review: I did not like this wine by itself, It was tannic and hard to get down. It was robust and maybe if I had it with a steak it would have been able to get the flavors without all the astringency.

George Duboeuf Beaujlais Nouveau

Name:George Duboeuf Beaujlais Nouveau
Variety: Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2014
Price:$14

Winery Review: Balanced and lightly creamy, offering pretty flavors of plum sauce and raspberry coulis threaded with hints of ground spice. Elegant, with a floral finish.

My Review: This red wine tasted of grape, and I tasted a little tangy flavors to it. Moreover, the wine seemed a little acidic. I didn't particularly care for it, but it wasn't terrible.

Rubus Rosado Prieto Picudo

Name: Rubus Rosado Prieto Picudo
Variety: Prieto Picudo
Region: Tierra de Leon
Country:Spain
Year:2013
Price: $14

Winery Review: Bright clean strawberry rose color.　In the nose it is intense and fresh, with strawberry aromas and slight citric hints. In the mouth it is fresh, strong and tasty, emphasizing a delightful tingle due to its carbonic residuals. The name Prieto Picudo means "tight & pointy" (more or less). This is due to the tightly formed bunches and the slightly oval/pointy shape of the grapes. The bunch shape is reminiscent of Tempranillo; the berries are thick skinned, and dark blue-black in color. Prieto Picudo is well adapted to the difficult growing conditions in Castilla y León province - not a lot of rain, very cold winters and scorching hot summers. The vines tend to relatively low yields, with lots of color, concentration and good acidity. Also, it's the same grape as Alfrocheiro Preto in Portugal. Alfrocheiro is an important variety in Dão region of Portugal.

My review: This wine at first taste was tannic or bitter, with the second taste I could taste a bit of the strawberry that was suppose to be there and some other fruity flavors. Overall, wasn't my favorite red wine, but I could picture it going really well with some chocolate.

Name: lagosta
Variety: Portuguese White Blend
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: N/A
Price: $12

Winery review: Fresh and juicy, with fresh-cut apple and gooseberry flavors that feature notes of citrus and light spice on the finish. The name “Lagosta” means “lobster,” and this would be a great seafood accompaniment.



My review: To me this wine tasted sweet with citrus flavors as well as buttery. I heard whites do suppose to go well with seafood or chicken, and i can see how it would go well with seafood.

My Experience with Wine so Far

My Experience with Wine so Far

In my life there have been few times in which I would drink wine. Most often its when I am visiting family and would have a small glass with dinner. In these gatherings it was most often a red wine, with only a couple of times having a white wine. The other time I would drink wine is when it was the only alcohol around in which to get drunk off of.

The things about wine I enjoyed all came from the times I drank it at with my family. As stated in class it may the visit less awkward when using it as a social lubricant. Moreover, it made all the older adults a little more crazy, which was fun to watch. Finally, I ended up enjoying the taste of red wine while I ate.

Things i found I didn't like about wine mostly came from the times a tried to get drunk off of it. I found wine hangovers to be easier to get then when I got drunk off beer or liquor. Also the headache could start that night when I was trying to socialize. Finally, I found I like red wine more than I did white, but I haven't had as much white wine as I have red.
