Winery Review: "Yellow colour with greenish nuances. Very intense aroma of fresh grapes, flower perfume and mature peaches. Fresh in the mouth. Light and easy to drink. Ideal with seafood, Thai and Chinese food."
My Review: This wine was very interesting as it had a smell of fruit loops cereal. The taste was initially sweet but then packed a little heat on the mid-pallet.

Price: $6.95
Winery Review: "The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay. The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla. Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!)."
My Review: The wine had aromas of apple to it. This did not trend send to the pallet however as I got no fruit component. The taste has hint of butter.
Name: El Sierro
Variety: Tempranillo/Cab
Region: Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Winery Review: "Dark ruby in color with rich aromas of red fruit and light spices. It is a real knock-out with delicious flavors of dark cherries, blackberries and vanilla all perfectly integrated. The Tempranillo provides wonderful spice and fruit, while the Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and depth with the beautiful use of oak."
My Review: This wine had a black currant smell to it, that of dark fruit. This wine did not have a lot of body to it and the only taste i could pick out was smokey.

Variety: Merlot
Region: Scicilia
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price:$6.95
Winery Review: "This bright, soft Merlot comes from a hilly vineyard on the Alcesti family estate in beautiful Sicily. It has hints of red cherries and freshly cut hay. Exceptional value."
My Review: This wine had a rubbery smell to it. The wine was very dry but did have hints of vanilla and blackberry to it and was a full body wine.
Name: Toso
Variety: Moscato
Region: Italy
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $9.95
Winery Review: "This Moscato is reminiscent of honeysuckle and rose petal. The quality is equivalent to a top level Asti Spumante DOCG. Sweet sparkling wine obtained from a careful selection of the Moscato grapes. It has a pale straw yellow color with fine foam and bubbles. Tropical fruit flavors, refreshing. Excellent to match desserts, fruit and dried pastries "
My Review: As a traditional moscato, this wine had a huge fruit component on the nose. I tasted a honey component as well as a lot of grape fruit, which made the wine very sweet.
