  Tasting: S mitt Sohne  Liebfraumilch Name: Schmitt Sohne Liebfraumilch Variety: Liebfraumilch Region: Rheinhessen Germany Country: Germany Year:2019 Price: $5 Winery Review: Yes, my exclamation when I savored the first sip! I was back in a quaint German village enjoying a glass of wine with the natives. This wine was bold, yet smooth. One of the best fresh and fruity Rhine wines I have had with a price that screams, "Try Me". This Liebfraumilch has become a staple. It is perfect with any meal or on its own (2019 Rachel) Wine Folly: pg238 in general Liebfraumilch is a cheap, sweet and a typically a white wine. Pg 21 white wines are typically on the lower end of the Ph scale. My review: This wine German wine is really good. It is on the cheap side, but it does not taste like a cheap wine. It is a little to sweet for me but still a very good wine. On the bottle it says you should chill before serving and I recommend doing that. It tastes better when chilled

  Tasting: Villa Jolanda Name: Villa Jolanda I Love You Sparkling Wine Variety: 100% Glera grapes Region: Piedmont, Italy Country: Italy Year:2020 Price: $5 Winery Review: Very enjoyable spumante! A tropical, floral nose and palate. Light and refreshing. Light body and low acidity. Beautiful ❤ All about Love ❤ bottle! Impressed! (Red 2019 Vivino) Wine Folly: Pg 155 prosecco is Italy’s most popular sparkling wine. Usually served with cured meats and almonds. I did chill it for an hour to an hour and a half around the temperatures it recommends. Going back to the food it says I should step up my game and try it with spicy Asian food. I may need to try that next time. Pg 256 says it’s a fruity sparkling wine and I can taste the fruitiness from the grapes. My review: Amazing! There were just enough grapes that was put into the sparkling wine because it has the right amount of fruitiness. I also agree with the review above me and there was just the right amount of acidity. I am a fan of

My personal experience with wine thus far in my life!

    Ever since I can remember my family has always liked drinking wine. My grandmother is from Southeastern Europe, and she brought her love of wine with her and shared it to her children and children's children. My family loves every type of wine, and we will have a specific wine on specific occasions. I can remember as a kid that on these specific occasions I was allowed to have a small glass of wine, and this is where my story of loving and tasting wine begins.      The first special occasion when I was allowed to have wine was the holidays.

Now we would have multiple types of wine not just one. When I was younger, I would always think of wine just being red not white. I asked my dad if I could try the white wine this time and he allowed me to have a glass. After taking a sip of white wine I really enjoyed
