Tasting- "Barefoot Rose"

 Name: Barefoot Rose

Price: $7

Year: No year on bottle

Region: California

My review: I didn't expect to like this wine but I actually liked it a lot. It was definitely a sweet Rose as opposed to a dry one(it's from California, makes sense). There were strong strawberry flavors, almost like a strawberry shortcake. There were aslo some kiwi notes, which made it taste like a Capri-sun which I thought was kind of funny. It had a light to medium body, and it kind of reminded me of a Riesling mixed with jelly beans.

Shop Review: Barefoot Rose is a refreshing wine with aromas of raspberries and juicy watermelon. Flavors of cherries and sweet citrus complement the smooth, crisp finish

Wine Folly: The primary flavors of rosé wine are red fruit, flowers, citrus, and melon, with a pleasant crunchy green flavor on the finish similar to celery or rhubarb. Of course, depending on the type of grape the rosé wine is made with will greatly vary the flavor.

Tasting- "Josh Cellars Pinot Grigio"

Image
 Name: Josh Cellars Pinot Grigio Year: 2023 Price: $12 Region: California Shop Review: Our California Pinot Grigio is fresh and crisp, brightening any occasion with flavors of melon and citrus and a hint of juicy pear. My Review: I was a bit disappointed by this wine. It wasn't bad- it had a nice, smooth buttery taste and sensation with a floral touch I hadn't expected. I was hoping for more fruity, citrusy, or "crisp" flavors, but they were very faint. I could taste the melon and pear flavors the shop review talked about but they were very subtle. All in all, this wine was a bit boring, for lack of a better word. Wine Folly:  Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio) is a pinkish grape mutation of Pinot Noir.  It’s famously known for zesty white wines, but can also create fuller bodied white wines and even be used for rosé. Look to Northern Italy, Alsace, Oregon, and Germany for benchmark examples.

Tasting- "Golden Gate Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon"

Name: Golden Gate Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Price: $15 Year: 2021 Region: Sonoma, California Shop Review: Selected from prestigious vineyards throughout California, this is a well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with dark fruit notes of blackberry and cherry complimented by notes of cedar and a long, lingering finish. Wine Folly:  The world’s most popular red wine grape is a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc from Bordeaux, France. Cabernet Sauvignon is loved for its high concentration and age worthiness. My Review: I liked this wine a lot. It was a nice, chill evening sort of wine. It was juicy for a Cabernet- I don't know if I would go all the way to say jammy, but definitely a full red fruit flavor. The overwhelming single flavor I noticed was blackberry.
