Wine Tasting - Sparkling Wine



 Name: SUN POP

Variety: Bubbly Brut (Sparkling white wine)

Region: Alicante

Country: Spain

Price: $7.99

Winery Review: I purchases this sparkling wine at Target in Christiansburg. It was described as vibrant and bubbly. It was a dry light-to-medium body and medium-length finish with notes of pear, hazelnut, and apple. It also had a nutty and earthy notes with a citrus flavor as well. 

Wine Folly: Wine folly described sparkling wines that are dry and zesty,  are made with non-aromatic grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. They also typically come from the coolest climate wine regions. To be dry, they have the least amount of sweetness added during dosage and are typically labeled as Brut. 

My Wine Review: I had this sparkling wine at an engagement celebration for a friend. I tried it by itself and it was very dry and light to medium bodied. It had a yellowish color to it like a normal champagne has. It was paired with orange juice as we know that is a mimosa. I liked the pairing a lot because the orange juice adds a zesty and sweet flavor along with the dry sparkling wine. I also paired it with bagels, fruit, egg casserole, and a cheese danish. It paired well with breakfast foods and was a great wine for this type of event.

Wine Tasting - Pinot Grigio California

  Name:  Elementalist Pinot Grigio California 2021 Variety:  100% Pinot Grigio Region:  Mendocino County, California  Country:  USA Year:  2021 Price:  $7.99 Winery Review :   Aromas of white peach, key lime and orange blossom combined with crisp acidity, subtle pear notes and a whisper of melon. Pairs well with appetizers or salads. Anything that is light and refreshing. Best served chilled.It i s nicely aromatic in the glass featuring green apple, pear, lemon and a little honeysuckle. It's quite a good start and tasting backs it up.  September, 2021 Wine Folly: It is known for its zesty flavor along with the primary flavors being white peach, lemon zest, cantelope, and raw almond. It does not recommend decanting which I did not do and I did serve it chilled which was recommended at a temperature of 45-55 degrees. It did note that you can leave it for 3-5 years but I did drink it right away and it is a bottle of wine with the year 2021....
