Terre Del Barolo

Terre Del Barolo


This is the 2017 Terre Del Barolo from Barolo, Italy. It cost $27 and is made from Nebbiolo grapes.

This wine had very distinct smoky and leathery smells with slight tones of strawberries and other red berries. By itself it tasted leathery with tones of red berries such as raspberries with a sweet and acidic aftertaste. I also tried it with Spring Truffle Pecorino and that just made this good wine into a great wine. The truffle cheese and the wine paired so amazing together. The sweetness of the wine came out with the combination of the truffle and sharpness of the cheese made it almost the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. They complimented each other so well and the aftertaste of red berries and truffle lingered in my mouth and was a taste I would love to experience every day of my life if it wasn’t so expensive. The cheese also took the acidity down to a perfect amount with the cheese to just pucker my mouth a little and keep me longing for more.

Cardwell Hill Estate Pinot Gris

  Cardwell Hill Estate Pinot Gris This 2019 Pinot Gris is from Willamette Valley, Oregon, and costs about $20. My review: Citrusy and sweet with a good amount of acidity. Light bodied. Nice aftertaste of citrus with a little acidity and some tannic elements. I enjoyed this wine and thought it had just the right amount of citrus and acidity but perhaps a little too sweet for my liking.

Chocolate (The Chocolate Lover's Wine)

Image
  Chocolate (Chocolate Lover's Wine) The Chocolate Shop wine is a Merlot from Washington that costs around $10-$20. This wine, however, does not have a vintage year labeled on it or anywhere online. At first, I thought this wine would be offputtingly sweet due to its name. Although it was sweet, it was just the right amount of sweet for a nice dessert wine. The smell of the wine was amazing with notes of dark cherries and chocolate that made it smell identical to that of a tootsie pop. The wine tasted sweet, floral, with a little bit of spice while having notes of cherry and chocolate just like the scent. I tried it with a piece of chocolate that happened to have bits of ginger in it and it paired really well bringing out the spice in both the ginger and the wine while still tasting really sweet and really good.
