Wine Gift Box

Sorry folks...I haven't been very good with sharing wine reviews lately. It seems I've been more concerned with drinking the bottle, than I am of reviewing it and taking notes. Oops. That hasn't stopped me from trying several types of wine over the past month.

This was a gift. Not bad for a Chardonnay. Not too oaky.


For under $9 this is ok. I'm not going to run out to buy another bottle.


We've had this twice. The first time we had it, I really enjoyed it. The second bottle...wasn't chilled as much and the mellow fruit notes were to strong for my liking...very floral and ripe melon. This is one I prefer super chilled.


Not so much. This bottle was hot with alcohol. Too much. Burning. I did have a few notes saved from this bottle. Take what you will from these:

*Tannins gave me goosebumps
*Flavors start with resin, tar, smoke and tobacco, followed by strawberries and spices
*After sitting for awhile, the flavors mellow to dark chocolate covered dried cherries
*The alcohol is hot


We enjoyed two bottles of this at a restaurant. Very nice. I'll look for this again.


Not a great summer wine. To big and fat for a hot day. Save this for a cold winter night.


I really enjoyed this organic, "green" Sauvignon Blanc. Will give this one another shot, when I see it again.


We bought this one when we were on vacation at the beach earlier this summer. I have to admit...I don't remember a thing about...guess that's all I need to remember...
