I like to hear about wines that other people who claim not to be wine people like. These adventures often reveal that they are probably more "wine people" than they realize but may be turned off by flavours that are common in certain common varietals (I'm looking at you Chardonnay, Merlot, oaked wines, etc.). People start to think that all wines have to be dry, heavy, powerful, etc. and that is not the case at all! I believe there is a varietal for everyone, you just have to find out what they like. K's friend L was just such a person, but this is his favourite wine. He claims not to like most wines, but I think judging by this one, he just probably would prefer sweeter ones over dry, heavy, oaky wines. L's favourite wine is Ironstone Obession's Symphony wine. The winery is from California and the bottle rings in at around $15.15. I would reccomend it for people who like their wines sweet and cold, like P. Enjoy!
L - This is my favourite wine. I really like how sweet it is. It has a very strong flavour to it. It leaves a nice, sweet aftertaste in your mouth. There is a certain zing to it as well. I enjoy this kind of sweetness and can see how it smells like flowers. It would be very hard to match with foods but I would drink it on its own or with a fruity salad, like a spinach salad with fruits, nuts, and a cheese.
K - This wine is very sweet and syrupy with a bit of a fizzy taste.
A - This wine smells like a very sweet flowery syrup, maybe like elderberry syrup. It is sweet like the previously reviewed Black Tower but not as syrupy or peachy. It is a little bit tingly and more like a mango-type tropical fruit flavour. I really like this wine. It is a good wine for socializing. It is quite a sweet wine, so I worry that if one is not careful, it may lead to hangovers!
