Baci Dolci Mosto Di Uve Parzialmente Fermentato Non Vintage

Name:Baci Dolci  Variety: 50% Marzemino, 50% Merlot Region: Colli Euganei Country:Italy Year: N/A Price: Regular Price $15 Sale $9.95 Winery review:     A blend of 50% Marzemino 50% Merlot.  A delicate, slightly frizzante wine with an intense, ruby red color. Fresh strawberry & black cherry aromas with hints of roses. Cherry pie flavors, medium-full bodied with refreshing sparkle to balance the semi- sweet finish.  My review:  I really liked this one actually it was weird with the blend though. I liked how the taste switched around from a sweetness which I wasn't that fond of then went to a kinda of floral and alcohol taste. This actual like throws me off honestly because typically I dislike this mixture but for some reason it wasn't sweet enough for it to bother me too bad. I wouldn't buy the bottle but it was a nice thing to try/ ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

Trattoria Busa Alla Torre

Name:Trattoria Busa Alla Torre Variety: Pinot Grigio Region: Veneto Country:Italy Year: 2014 Price: $7.95 Winery review:     A Venetian favorite!  It is crisp and dry, rich and spicy with hints of peach and honey…perfect with salads, pasta, chicken and fish!  Musaragno is an organic wine estate near Venice, Italy.  My review:  This was alright honesty it was interesting that it kinda spicy and left a residue of that burning sensation on the tongue but it is strange in that aside from that I could hardly taste the wine it is really soft aside from the spicy at the beginning. I wouldn't recommend this wine to anyone to actually casually drink but maybe to buy and try it for fun. Again cause it was very light I wouldn't think this would appeal to many who share my tastes. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

Lost Vineyards Spumante Italiano

Name:Lost Vineyards Spumante Italiano Variety: Moscato Non Vintage Region: Piedmont Country:Italy Year: 2013 Price: Regular Price $19 Sale $8.95 Winery review:     Pale color. Confected, fruity aromas of yellow apple, honeysuckle, pear tartlet, and honeydew melon with a satiny, shy, spritzy, moderately sweet light-to-medium body and a sleek, fast yellow apple, candied pear, honeycomb, and sweet papaya finish with no tannins and no oak. Simple and approachable with sweet apple, melon and candied pear on a framework of gentle, delightful bubbles.  My review: Yet another sweet wine but this one to me tasted like it was alcohol mixed with honey and some weird mix of fruits that I couldn't place but again the sweetness of the wine put me off. It almost got to the level of some of the sweet meats that they have in the vintage cellar. But again it was an interesting taste for a wine but again since it is sweet I am going to pass it personally but I don't like it but I would actually recommend this one to people who like semi sweet to sweet wines. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

Jip Jip Rocks

Name:Jip Jip Rocks Variety: Verdejo Region: Padthaway Country: Australia Year: 2013 Price: Regular Price $19 Sale $8.95 Winery review:     87 – Robert Parker  This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red to enjoy now and over the next several years. My review: This wine by far was my least favorite this week. It was really sweet and when the sweet stopped it went to an alcoholic taste and then just stopped it was not my cup of tea (or wine in this case) and honestly I don't think I will try this mix again it was not good in my mind at all. Great to experience but not at all what I like in any wine. ***I did not eat anything with this wine***

El Cortijillo

Name:El Cortijillo Variety: Verdejo Region: La Monacha Country: Spain Year: 2014 Price: $5.95 Winery review:     90 Points – Beverage Testing Institute "Golden straw color. Bright, attractive, tropical aromas of creme brulee and fruit tart with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, intriguing, snappy lime and apple finish with crunchy, fruit tannins and light oak. A super smooth and pure white sipper.   My review: This was so weird. I liked it then hated it at different times within the tasting. At first it tasted fruity and acidic with a taste of alcohol which I didn't like but then the tannin bitterness that I really like which reminded me a bit of old green tea which again I liked. So it was more of a take a bad hit in the beginning to then have a good mid and after taste but I don't think I would ever buy this wine personally.   ***I did not eat anything with this wine***
