Hom Extra Brut –

Type: Chardonnay 70%, Chenin 30% / Sparkling White
Region: Mendoza, Argentina
Year: N/V
Price range: $ (Less < $15)

I can’t say enough about this sparkling wine. If I was forced to drink this everyday I wouldn’t be terribly upset. Significantly better than Korbel and not significantly more expensive. The combination of mostly Chardonnay and Chenin make for a nicely balanced flavor. You get the slight lemon and a hint of apple flavor that are just perfect bubbles on the palate. You don’t need a special occasion to celebrate and go out to buy this sparkling wine.

By sowiwi | July 9, 2014

Blend of 50% Malvasia Bianca di Candia, 30% Trebbiano Toscano, 10% Malvasia del Lazio, 10% Greco.

A little gem in a bottle is how I would describe this 2011 Fontana Candida Terre Dei Grifi white wine. A blend of several grape varietals that together present a flowery note presented in a pale green apple appearance. pleasantly surprising earthy texture that leaves your palette clean and smooth.

Civello Winery civello 2012

By sowiwi | June 11, 2014

This Civello white wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Verdelho, Gewurztraminer and more. This Civello 2012 offers light golden with greenish color with lots of character. Its dry but fruity, its syrupy but not sweet, little Chardonnay type of buttery but more crisp like Pinot Gris. The winemaker Mr. Ricardo d. must thought why not create a white wine from all the grapes he likes. I believe he did it and he made an excellent white blend. You can enjoy all the great flavor in one bottle. I picked this wine because it was one of weekly wine tasting list at my local wine shop. I love wine tasting at wine shops. You can try so many different wines and you can explore new wines. So, if you see wine shop offers wine tasting stop by! I can promise you that you will not regret.

This Villa Antinori Toscana 2010 offers dark ruby color with intense and complex aroma. There is peppery spice, dark chocolate and I think cut grass. For the palate, long lasting ripe cherry and raspberry flavors with mild tannins.
