Revenge is sweet in this case.
After putting my parents to the test with the brown bag challenge, they got An
and A back two fold, with two blind wines. I don’t mind saying that I did
pretty well, guessing that both had the same grape in them almost immediately.
Here are our blind impressions though. I found blind tasting to be fun, because
I had less bias and was forced to work like a scientist and observe with all my
senses. Enjoy! (My parent’s reviews are shorter because they chose them).This wine is on sale at the winery at $16.95 a bottle.
An – Alright, I will say it. This
wine is the colour of pee. It smells like white wine, a little sweet, but more
tart than sweet. It is really fruity, like stone fruits like peaches and
nectarines, not citrusy fruits. It is definitely not a dry wine and doesn’t
have a strong aftertaste. It does leave a strong first impression. I like it
and would buy it if it were on the cheaper side, because I am generally easy to
please so go for cheaper wines. I agree that it tastes good with spinach dip
and also would taste good with hard cheeses.
A – This wine is a very distinct
yellow. It smells like apples and tastes a little like strongly brewed black
tea, a little bit bitter and yet fruity and sweet. I like that it isn’t too
dry. It tastes good with spinach dip and probably would go well with other
snacky foods. I would eat it with a lighter meal, but not with a steak, or a
roast, or souvlaki, I might drink it with fruitier pork chops. I like it a lot.
It tastes like pears and vanilla (I have a tea with these flavours, which is
probably why I thought it tasted like that too). I would buy this wine again.
D – This wine tastes like a
lightly oaked chardonnay (this was my mom’s pick so he wasn’t cheating). It had
a nice body to it and a really good aftertaste. I really liked it.
M – I think this wine tastes
oaked. I find it to be a full mouthed wine with lots of flavours and it has a
very distinct, strong aftertaste I just could not put my finger on, but I liked
it.
