Wine 2: St. Chateau Michelle Chardonnay

 

This week I tried a chardonnay my roommate had. It was a wine that he had bought for his birthday at olive garden so it was a little more expensive than the wines I've usually drunk.

I had the wine with some white sauce pasta I had made. The wine had a very distinct taste compared to other red or white wines. It had a fragrant aroma which was very pleasant. It was smooth with not much of an alcohol burn. Taste wise it had a grape flavor but it was sweet. It had a slight viscosity to it and left a sweet aftertaste. Tasting it really reminded me of being in an outdoor winery tasting some wine. I really enjoyed it.

Wine 1: Dark Horse Double Down Red

This was my first time reviewing a Wine and I was pretty excited. I decided to take this class with a few friends and this week one of them bought the wine and we all drank and tasted the Wine together after our dinners. The Wine we had was called a Dark horse double down red, which was a blended wine from california. The packaging looked really cool and it wasn't too expensive either at $8. Here's a photo of the bottle of wine below.

 

The wine had a raspberry like taste to it and was very rich and dark. Despite the 20% alcohol content, it did not generate much of a buzz and was surprisingly very smooth to drink. Compared to the cheap beers and Vodka my friends and I usually drink, this felt like a huge step up.

Next time I intend to get some nice Wine glasses and slowly pair the wine with some good food as well. Super excited to try more wines!
