Wine lover, world traveler, love to try new wines. Ex military (go Navy)!!
To start off the Christmas season with my wine advent calendar, today’s wine is an extra dry Prosecco. I also bought the cheese and chocolate to pair with each wine so tonight I have a sharp white cheddar and a bourbon vanilla truffle. A nice way to start the holidays! @Delectable this is the Denominazione di Origine Controllata. — 5 days ago
Another nice blend from Italy. Other than me having a problem getting the cork out with three different wine openers, it ended up being worth having cork in my wine! Full bodied, dark fruit with a silky finish. Paired well with garlic oil and warm bread. — 13 days ago
Day #3 on the advent calendar. This is a Shiraz from Australia. Very light and fruity, paired with a creamy tomato and olive cheese and a mousse au chocolat truffle. Got photo bombed by my cat interested in the cheese so I just went with it! — 3 days ago
I saw where someone else described this years’ Nouveau as “bitter and tart” so I was worried because I really enjoy this wine with my Thanksgiving meal. I found it to be as expected; fruity and smooth. Thank goodness we all have different palates! Happy Thanksgiving to all my Delectable friends!! 🍷🍂🍽🦃 — 9 days ago
Trying new whites because I want to expand my knowledge on them. This is something I’ve never tried. To me, it has the creaminess of a Chardonnay and the juiciness of a Sauvignon Blanc. And....I’ve almost finished the whole bottle, it’s that good! 😲 — 15 days ago

Day 6 - Semi sweet White Zinfandel. Paired with a white cheddar really brings out the strawberry and watermelon! The white chocolate latte macchiato truffle brings out the smoothness in this wine. @Delectable Wine this is the Broadland White Zinfandel thanks! — 9 hours ago
