Pol Clément Brut Blanc De Blancs (NV)

Very pretty golden hue with aromas of slighty sweet vanilla with a slight nutty hint

Palate--Flaccid bubbles, a light palate which is not offensive but unremarkable as well. A not unpleasant finish lasts a bit.

Not a lot going on here but then again this may be an 8-10 year old French Sparkler. A friend gave it to me so I really don't know how old it is except that he had given me a whole host of wines all of which were in the 8-12 year old realm. At $12 you can do a lot better but again to be fair, if this wine is as old as it could be, this is actually a bit impressive that it is even palatable!

We've moved!

After a few year hiatus from my "real" wine blog, you can now find my reviews at the winecask.blogspot.com I started this blog many years ago and was ranked the #8 wine blog on the world wide web. I am a regular guy with a very limited wallet so I drink what you drink with rare exceptions. So scoot on over there, follow me if you want short, no non sense wine info. Raise a glass!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice. Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red. Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon. At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!
