I quite enjoyed this red wine, which is pretty rare considering I don't usually like reds. The label says it's flavor is that of black cherries with a hint of chocolate and an aroma of vanilla; three of my favorite things! Another Fetzer is approved in my book and I give this wine a 7 out of 10! I could definitely enjoy a couple glasses of this in an evening!

Oki Winos
Wine has always been a drink of choice for us, and through the years we've discovered that there hasn't been a way to determine what our new favorites may be. So we're in the process of making a way! We've got several different 'winos' joining in with their votes on various bottles that we try. We'll leave our own personal profiles with what we normally enjoy so that you can determine whose 'wino' taste is the closest to your own! Discover your new favorites!

Blackstone Pinot Noir
This was not one of my favorite reds. I could drink it, but wouldn't have been able to drink more than a glass per evening. To me it was just a bit too dry and not quite sweet enough. It also gave me a bit of a burning sensation on my tongue when properly tested. Other winos may like it though! Overall it got a 5 out of 10.

Fetzer Gewurztraminer
This is one of my new favorites. According to the label it's honeyed apricot and peach flavored with aromas of rose petals and honeysuckle. I found it just under the sweetness of a Moscato, but sweeter than a Riesling. With a price of around $10 and a company that uses 100% green energy to produce their products it's definitely worth trying; especially for the sweeter wine lovers looking to expand their horizons! I'd give it an 8.5 on my 10 point scale!
