Winery Review: Amelia displays aromas and flavors of strawberry and red currant, with a medium body and elegant finish. A richness on the plate and fine bubbles result from vinification using the method traditionnelle and aging on the lees. (Vintage Cellar)

Wine Folly: Pg. 221 Brunt is a term for sweetness level in a sparkling wine. It also indicates a dry style. Pg 222 The region of Bordeaux France is known to produce Merlot.

My review: I finally went to the free wine tasting at the vintage cellar and it was worth going too. I was able to try this wine and it was amazing. The strawberry aromas coming from this wine made me think of a nice summers evening. I could also taste a hint of strawberry and it was just the right amount. The strawberry was not too strong. Also, before I tasted it I did not know it was a sparkling wine,so I was in for a surprise because I am a big fan of sparkling wine. I also feel like I would have liked it better if I was there earlier because the bottle was already opened, and a lot of the CO2 was already out of the bottle. However, the wine overall was very very good, and I will possibly buy it.  

 

I had no food when tasting

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
