Mars and Venus

Today I chose to drink a Sauvignon Blanc. The name of the wine is Mars and Venus. I really like this wine. And the name reminds me of the book Men are from Mars and Woman are from Venus. This great white wine is from Italy, boasting 12.5% Alc. While swirling the vino in my glass I smelled sweet citrus notes. At the first sip I could taste the citrus but with a little pucker. Sauvignon Blanc has always been one of my fresh go to white wines. I truly reccomend Mars and Venus Sauvignon Blanc with a light meal or by itself. 

Cheers!!

Chesapeake Wine Company- A Sparkling Beauty

The other day I visited one of my favorite wine bars in Canton, Chesapeake Wine Company. This place is extraordinary. I love how the shop owner tastes each of the wines and adds a personal tasting note describing his opinion of the vino. Just reading his wine notes made for an exciting experience. I purchased a sparkling wine all based on the hilarious description of the personalized wine note. I am not much of a sparkling wine sipper but when the wine bar owner wrote that the wine was “Stupid” (meaning awesomely great) by then my interest was spiked. The wine I choose was Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene. This sparkling beauty is produced in Italy. At first sip I could taste hints of peaches along with a slight mob of bubbles crawling to the back of my tongue. I truly recommend visiting Chesapeake Wine Company as well as tasting this sparkling wine. I also suggest sipping the vino without being paired, or making Mimosas for Sunday brunch.

 

Cheers!!
