Wild Vines Blackberry Merlot

Comments : 2 Posted in : Dessert Wine, Wine on by : The Gourmez

Wild Vines Blackberry Merlot This is a cheap, cheap wine purchase. I’m pretty sure it cost me a whopping $3.50. What can I say? A fruit wine sounded fun while perusing the shelves at Kroger. It’s very purple with red highlights, like a Mr. Sketch grape-scented marker. But little grape makes it into the swallow

Torrontes Dolce 1591 La Rioja, Argentina Sparkling Torrontes! Hooray! Torrontes quickly fought its way to the top of my favorite white wine varietals, so trying a sparkling version is trés exciting. This bottle has a fun purple rubber cork that contrasts with the simple, elegant label design, but I think that just makes it all

Bin 90 Lindeman’s Moscato 2010

Posted in : Dessert Wine on by : The Gourmez

Bin 90 Lindeman’s Moscato 2010 Australia I purchased this wine mainly because I was curious how the Australian moscato differed from other muscat wines I’ve tried. The answer would be not much. It’s very sweet, and I definitely consider it a dessert wine. There is a lot of pear and vanilla with lesser notes of

Kiuchi Yuzu Wine—Wine Review

Comments : 3 Posted in : Dessert Wine on by : The Gourmez

Kiuchi Yuzu Wine Japan Yuzu is a citrus fruit native to Japan. I’ve never tried yuzu wine before, or even yuzu for that matter, so this glass will be my first impressions of both. The color is a pleasant gold with some peach highlights. The nose is strong, sweet, and reminds me of peach again.

Eiswein, Nachtgold Other stuff on the label: 2004 Germany, Rheinhessen We bought this wine on impulse at our local World Market. Ice wine is the toast of the vintner world this year and I was intrigued. I knew that ice wines are made from grapes that remain on the vine until the freeze but had

Tomasello Blackberry Wine

Tomasello Blackberry Wine
Posted in : Dessert Wine on by : The Gourmez

Blackberry Wine Other stuff on the label: Tomasello Winery This wine is packed full of flavor. It has a syrupy smell of molasses and, strangely enough, blackberry. It’s very translucent and tastes mainly like cranberry juice that’s been mulled with allspice and nutmeg for a long time. There’s a fleeting glimpse of amaretto before the

GardenGate Vineyards Semi-Sweet Scuppernoag Other words on the label: 2003 Scuppernoag North Carolina Let me tell you something-North Carolinians love their wines as sweet as their tea. My husband and I bought this bottle at the vineyard and while I also liked the sweet scuppernoag, Mr. Gourmez wouldn’t even consider buying a bottle. The reason,

Posted in : Dessert Wine on by : The Gourmez

Horizon 2004 Carolina Comfort Other words on the label: Sweet Blanc, White Table Wine That’s an awful lot of names for a simple white wine. This is sweet enough to use as a dessert wine. It tastes of caramelized sugar with a tinge of casaba melon. There is peach in the nose but none in
