I don’t love this don’t worry. I got it for free but was, based on chums, compelled to tell you of it.
But! It mixes and YOU might be into it.
I’m willing to bet some of my non-wine-peeps would be into it. They might prefer it over, say, a Barolo that cost 10 times this. This retails around 8-11 bucks.
And honestly? If you told your bartender “I want something a pink, a tad sweet and generally non-offensive and have I mentioned I like Pinot Grigio and moscato because I do,” then this would be the thing.
It’s too sweet for me. I sip and at first sip think of candied strawberries. That is good. Then I think oh heck that, that’s a LOT of overly sweet strawberry stuff and it is…for a friend of mine that loves this stuff.
So the take home message is this may be your jam and if you have a friend who resents a hint of savory in wine, this may be it. For them.
Oof it also may be for you if you plug it into drinks. I plugged it into this lovely recipe instead of muscat…and it was the stuff for that. Yeaaaa!
Let me be clear: FUCK NO this is not MY wine for sipping. But as required for a cocktail or a friend who (fuck I’m a snob) doesn’t actually love wine, this is your top affordable juice. Also for your drink that wants a splash of semi-sweet wine.
I think my mom (no offense mom it is good for sweet-ish wine lovers) would enjoy this as would several chums of mine. In the meantime in the cocktail I linked to I enjoy it. And…okay I do not NOT enjoy it in a glass.
OMG
I have respect for you for posting this- you are not a snob and more wine people need to be open like this! All wine lovers have to start somewhere, and inexpensive and sweet is a great start! I find many cult cabs to be very sweet- and those are $200+!
Thank you for the feedback! I felt kinda funny posting about this but figured it would be a change of pace. Now to get to tasting those cult cabs, hehe…
BAH HA HA HA AHA HAH! Give the “piss” to the people who don’t like wine…. 😉
LOL I wouldn’t go quite so far as to say it was “piss” but definitely not for me…
