SUTTER HOME CHENNIN BLANC is extremely cheap for a decent desert wine. Now pros might not enjoy it, but I must say for a social situation where you do not know if people even like wine it is perfect. Even people who don’t like wine will feel they fit in. It is sweet as sugar but gives an after taste of a wine. Nothing like going to a party and there is 4 bottles of MERLOT and your a white wine drinker. Whats the cheapest you have seen this wine and let me know what you think about!! Oh ya Join US.

Winery Notes: Garnet hued, this light bodied red derives its unique fruity flavor from the Noble grape. Slightly sweet for dinner, dessert, or just relaxing.

TASTING NOTES: An appealing light straw colour. Full-bodied palate with powerful varietal flavours of tropical fruit, ripe green fig and melon. This follows through with a mouth-watering thread of acidity to a crisp clean aftertaste.

Wine Notes: This line of wines is imported by Brown-Forman, and shows well for the price class. Sweet black fruit, mocha and dill aromas and flavors are backed up by soft tannins, vanilla notes and a sweet finish.

Wine Makers Notes: This Rose has a very tangy nose. A lot of melon… a little apple…some blueberry. The first sip was unusual… very sour and a quite bitter with a charcoal aftertaste. I gave it another try later in the evening, but to no avail. Not a very good Rose.

Wine Makers Notes: Carmenet pulled off a nice, inexpensive wine here. Full aromas of grapefruit and gooseberries are followed by pure fruit flavors unburdened by layers of oak. Nice acidity ties it all together.

Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices were added to this Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Designed as a mulled wine, it is meant to be served warm during winter by the fireplace, or after a cold day outdoors.
When served chilled in the summer months, it makes an agreeable substitute for Sangria.
The art of adding spices, or “mulling” wine is a centuries-old tradition. In the cold winters of northern Europe, wine would often be served warm during the holiday season. The English brought this custom to Virginia in the 16th century.
