Chateau Ste Michelle

 








Name: Chateau Ste Michelle

Variety: Riesling 

Country and Region: Columbia Valley, United States

Year: 2020

Winery Review: Loaded with fresh Jonathan apple-flavored fruit, the sweetness is nicely balanced by the fresh, natural acids. Highlights of cinnamon and caramel add further pleasure to a wine with wide appeal.

Wine Folley Page 723: This is a very sweet yet very acidic wine. This is a versatile wine, in that, the style of wine can be dry all the way to very sweet. Germany is the most important producer of this wine. It pairs well with spicy Indian and Asian cuisines, especially with bacon, duck, and pork. Germany, the United States, and Australia are the largest growers of this variety.

My Review: The wine that I tasted was much sweeter than other riesling wines I have had in the past. This wine was quite nice, it went down well and the taste was not too overpowering. I paired this wine with a buffet style meal. It paired the best with the curry and shrimp dishes in my opinion. I would definitely give this wine another try.

Artie Review

  Name: Artie  Variety: Pinot Grigio Country and Region: Vino d’Italia, Italy Year: 2019 Winery Review: ​​Meet Artie Pinot Grigio, a delicious white waiting to make your acquaintance. A smooth Italian Pinot Grigio singing with zesty citrus and lush stone fruit, Artie makes an easy-going companion for a variety of casual fare and fun. Wine Folly Page 667: This grape is a pink grape mutation from Pinot Noir. This is a versatile wine since it is used in the making of sweet to dry wines. This wine pairs well with white meats, seafood, and food with a hint of fruity flavor (for example a zesty lemon linguine dish). This grape has a shelf life between 1 and 5 years and should be kept in rather cooler rooms. Italy is the largest grower of this grape, with the United States and Germany as close runner ups. My Review: I have never really been a fan of white wine in general, however this wine had the perfect balance of fruitiness and dryness. I paired this wine with a shrimp scampi dish and it w

  Name: Caras de Los Andes Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Region and Country: Central Valley, Chile Year: 2021 Winery Review: Wine of Chilean Origin made with excellent quality raw materials of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Product of wide displacement and recognized quality in hundreds of consumption centers of the hotel sector of Cancun, Riviera Maya and Mexican Pacific. Wine Folly Page 311: These wines are concentrated and aged for long periods. It originated in Bordeaux, France. It has high tannin and rich flavor, making it a perfect pairing with grilled meats and dishes with lots of flavor. France, Chile, and the US are the primary producers. My Review: I was not a huge fan of this wine. This wine was very acidic, which is a quality I do not like. Once I tried this wine with food, it became more tolerable. I ate at the steakhouse at the resort which came with steak, shrimp, and veggies. It paired well with the steak and shrimp, but not so much the veggies. I got what I expected! Ov

Alamos Malec Review

Image
  Name: Alamos Malbec  Variety: Malbec Grapes Country and Region: Mendoza, Argentina Year: 2020 Winery Review: Alamos Malbec offers layers of dark cherry and blackberry and a velvety mouthfeel. Aromas of violet intertwine with spice and vanilla, while balanced tannins create a velvety mouthfeel and expansive finish. This Malbec delivers a complex fine red wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of cuisine and goes beyond the expected. Wine Folly Page 534: Malbec is Argentina's most important grape variety, which came about by France, where they name it Cot. It contains a dark fruity and chocolate aftertaste. It is a great drink alongside leaner red meats as well as melted Blue Cheese. It is predominantly grown in Argentina, but also is grown in Australia in good quantities.  My Review: This wine had such a bold aroma before I even tasted it. I could smell the dark fruity component, but not so much the chocolate aftertaste. It was not until I tried it that I could taste the ch
