What does every dancer want to do after two hours of company auditions with a fabulous wine hangover? More wine tasting, of course! Three dancers and a boyfriend pretending to have even the slightest idea about wine produced an afternoon of wine descriptions like: “WOW, this one tastes like a spicy salsa dancer.” In total, we tasted fourteen different wines and finally distinguished that “oaky” flavor, which we took as a huge accomplishment! I found that although I do not usually care for sweet white wines, I love a semi sparkling dessert white like Candoni Moscato I’ll describe below. Here are five of my favorite wines out of the fourteen:
Sauvignon Blanc: 2010
White/12.95
California, USA, (Sonoma Country)
Store Review: Rich and complex with aromas of ruby grapefruit, citrus and tropical fruit. On the palate, the combined flavors of fresh melon, fig and lime are balanced perfectly to form a crisp, mouthwatering texture and lingering finish.
My Review: This dry white was shockingly and deliciously mouthwatering right after swallowing which I would say was the lingering finish even though the store review describes them as separate sensations. Perhaps my palate sophisticated enough yet to tell the difference. I’m also still working on deciphering between the three different tastes in wine. Although I could not pick out specific fruity tastes, I did taste an overall fruity flavor. Although i’m not normally a white wine lover, I had never tasted a Savignon Blanc before and really enjoyed it without food.
