My review:  I was alright with this one. Didn't particularly like it but could tell that if I ate something sweet with it it would taste better, I would recommend  it to someone who likes white wines.

Villa Pozzi

Name: VIlla Pozzi Variety:Moscato Region:Sicily Country: Italy Year: 2013(the sheet didn't specify) Price: $8.95 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:  This was a good one. Though it was a bit sweet for my taste I did actually enjoy drinking it. I feel that if i was going to sip wine randomly this would do it for me. Mostly because I know i wouldnt be able to have more the 1 cup. I couldn't figure out aside from peach what was inside taste wise so I feel that was a let down since the server told us that this one would be a better taste after the tobacco tasting blend. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

Paul Laureano

Name: Paul Laureano Variety:Tinto CLassico Region:Alentejano Country:Portugal Year: 2013 Price: $8.95 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. My review: This was the only one that I actually liked this week. I didn't end up buying it though the reason behind this is while I liked this one the most out of all the collections i still found that I didn't want to retry it after the first taste test. When the server told us that the mix had the taste of tobacco i was at first hesitant to try it but when I did I was happily surprised with a better experience then I thought I would have. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

Bodegas Atalaya

Name: Bodegas Atalaya Variety:Laya Region:Almansa Country:Spain Year: 2013 Price: $8.95 Winery review:  88 Points – Stephen Tanzer 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.   My review: This was quite different. I tasted the pepper in this one. I haven't had anything like it before honestly. It confused me I actually asked for a 2nd tasting to make sure of my feelings on this one. I liked it but at the same time I didn't like it. I was very conflicted with this one the berry tastes put me off but then the after taste I thoroughly enjoyed so I would recommend this one simply to see someone else's reaction. Though again the berry and pepper mix was something I at first don't like but then the finish and after taste I like. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***
