Dievole - Dievolino Rosso Di Sangiovese 2008
imported by pasternak wine imports harrison, ny. dievole.it |
it had an oddly sweet finish - like sour cherry candy.
on the label:
"Dievole vineyards are the perfect alliance between tradition and scientific technical innovation, they are the fruit of viticulture masters whose know-how is exalted by the most modern techniques of wine-growing management."

Brooklyn Summer Ale
it's like a combo of light & refreshing beers - a heffeweizen, maybe a lager/pilsner...tastes similar to circus boy with that herby lemony thing going on, or even a gose, because of the oddly savory accents, just not as good. the label colors are very pretty!

Gaetano D'Aquino 2009 Chianti
this is what i first thought:
dry. mature fruit? yeah, tastes a little rotten. the cork smelled a
little moldy so maybe something went wrong with this bottle. if not
well then - i'll never trust you again trader joe's employee that was
in charge of this wine's write-up! i can't remember what they said but
i expected the wine to be all bold and drinkable and some other
blah-blah-blah.
later, i came up with this:
once it's had time to breath the wine is light-bodied and tart,
finishes dry. still smells of dirt and plums and is too sour to be
totally pleasant.
the end.
