Tonnino

Name:Tonnino Variety: Pinot grigio Region: Sicily Country: Italy Year: 2014 Price: Regular Price $14 Sale $7.95 Winery review:     Tonnino’s exotic example of Pinot Grigio has a straw to pale gold color. It is fresh and clean on the nose with fruity notes of pear, green apple and white peaches. The palate is true to the nose with a fresh acidity, coriander and lime notes followed by a crisp finish. This wine pairs well with youthful aperitifs, clams or mussels, pastas and risotto dishes.   My review: This one was weird to me. I felt that I liked it when I first sip it since it has a kind of fresh or soda pop kinda feeling. An example is if you were outside all day then took a drink of something cool with a little carbonation this to me gave that feeling at first. Then midway thru it changes to something with fruit and aerosol like taste which I didn't like all that much but i feel that if I keep drinking it the taste would grow on me. So again a weird one I wish I could have more of this one, I may go back and ask for another type to see if they all have this feeling. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

Maipe

Name:Maipe Variety: Torrontes Region: Mendoza Country:Argentina Year: 2014 Price: Regular Price $14 Sale $7.95 Winery review:     The wine has a 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: Nope. This wine was not to my tastes honestly. was weird tasted the alcohol then it had the fruit taste mixed in and i felt that I did not like this one soon as I smelled it and sure enough when I sipped it I was not a happy camper. The taste also stood with me for awhile until I got to the next tasting. I wouldn't recommend this one honestly was not something I enjoyed and was happy when the next tasting happened. I am not saying the wine is bad by any means just this one is not to my taste so I do not want to make anyone feel one way or another. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***
