Alvarinho

This was weird. A metallic taste. Wasn’t corked, but might still be bad.

A classic standby that goes with everything. A little on the sweet side, but nice separation of vanilla, cherry, and cinnamon flavors.

Great full bodied wine!

Great red wine.

Fantastic wine! Extremely smooth, very grapey but not sweet.

Did not enjoy it

WSJ wine

Jammy. But sweeter than I usually like. It’s not bad.

Jammy and vibrant. Enjoyed with Indian food and perfectly complemented the spice.

Delicious, complex, mildly sweet but appropriate for savory meals. My red-despising husband loved this one.
