I joined my friend P for a night of good company and great fun. Tonight we drank his favourite wine. Black Tower is available in the LCBO in three different sizes, 750ml, 1 litre, and 1.5 litre bottles, ranging from $8.95 to $17.95. It is Peter's favourite wine for a night in because it is sweeter than many cheap wines, but is still cheap. I was apprehensive at first because it's bottle is cool and big, and cool bottles sometimes do not contain good wine, but it was acutally quite tasty.
P -This wine has no real smell to it. It does, however, have a VERY cool bottle, that is half black, half clear. It had a kind of sour taste that makes my tongue really salivate. It has a peachy undertone. It tastes like a bellini from Milestones, but it's more like a wine-lini. It also has a hint of the taste of McGuiness' Melon liquor.
A - This wine is light with a sweet-ish smell. It has a fuzzy peach taste and is very sweet and juicy. It is maybe a little melony, perhaps like a cantelope or a watermelon. It is very drinkable, perhaps dangerously so. It would bring this to a party or a large dinner because it is a not obnoxious wine and would appeal I think to most non-wine drinkers. Dry wines tend to be more of a turn-off and at this price point, a sweet wine is appealing.
