Name: Mogen David, Concord
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: California
Country:United States
Year: N/A
Price: $7
Winery Review: Mogen David Concord is full of dark berry fruit flavors with a smooth mouthfeel. Serve chilled for a classic American taste, or with your favorite mixer - club soda, lemon lime soft drink or ginger ale.
My review: I enjoyed this wine. It reminded me of drinking grape juice when I was little. It didn't have a very strong aftertaste. It seemed more like juice than wine. I drank this without food.
Name: Vandori, Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Italy
Country:Italy
Year: 2016
Price: $7
Winery Review: Vandori Pinot Grigio is a very pleasant and easy to drink medium bodied wine showing citrus aromas and presenting flavors of apples and pears. Its refreshing characteristics can be enjoyed before dinner or with light dishes such as pasta, grilled fish and chicken.
My review: I liked this wine, although it was drier than I normally like. It reminded me of apples. I really liked that it wasn't too overpowering for a dry wine. I drank it with some leftover fried chicken strips, which was not the best idea because the chicken's seasoning did not go well with the apple aftertaste. It made the chicken seem rather dry.
Name: Hogue, Gewurztraminer
Variety: Gewurztraminer
Region: N/A
Country: United States
Year: Washington
Price: $8
Winery Review: Our often intense aromas and flavors of sweet lychee, rose petal, and grapefruit. It's delicious on its own or paired with chicken salad, Thai curry, or other Asian dishes
My review: This wine was very light. It smelled like flowers. I did not pair it with any food.
Name: Gallo Family, Sweet Peach
Variety: Non-Grape Wines
Region: N/A
Country: United States
Year: N/A
Price: $6
Winery Review: This sweet light to medium-bodied wine has flavours of juicy peach, citrus, pineapple and orange blossom, which complement a crisp, refreshing finish.
My review: This wine tasted to me like the peach ring candies. That artificial peach flavor, with sugar. I love those candies, so I really enjoyed this wine.
Name: Yellow Tail, Sweet Red Roo
Variety: Red Blend
Region: South East Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2017
Price: $5
Winery Review: This wine has bold, expressive and naturally sweet flavors that make you want to jump for joy! Serve at room temperature or chilled if you want to cool things down.
My review: I tried this at room temperature because it seemed odd to chill red wine. I am considering trying this again chilled to see if it tastes different(I did not consider this while drinking, or I could have just popped it in the fridge for a bit after pouring myself a glass). As advertised, this wine was very sweet. It had a fruity aftertaste as well, which I enjoyed. It didn't taste like chocolate to me but it left me wanting chocolate.
Name: The Crossings, Unoaked Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Marlborough
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2008
Price: $15
Winery Review: With no oak to mask its pure fruit flavors, this fresh and elegant Chardonnay displays ripe stone-fruit characters and hints of tropical fruit, balanced with a crisp citrus finish.
My review: This wine was dry yet fruity, which is not a common combination for me. It smelled like citrus, and had a very fresh taste. I paired this with some leftover pasta. I honestly do not remember the type of pasta because it's what my sister ordered and left in my fridge, but the pasta was very cheesy. This wine went well with it; it was dry enough that it did not take away from or mask what I was eating, but actually helped me taste some of the seasonings in the food better.
