This blog is only updated during the Summer when I prefer to drink wine and discover new Vinters, Varietals, and Vineyards. However, from time to time throughout the year you may find a rouge post here and there. Please remember, that I am an amateur wine drinker, so my notes and observations on the blog are my own personal inexperienced notes. As I grow and develop my pallet, I hope that my notes and annotations will develop and refine as well. Until then, enjoy my blog and my adventures.

Uncorking Villa Alena Moscato & Peach

This weeks wine is Villa Alena Moscato & Peach.

I was not able to find much on this particular vineyard so if I do later down the road I will revise this post.

I purchased this at Trader Joe's for $8.99 on a whim to try something new. Now I will be blunt I am a peach anything person. I really have never come across a peach anything that I dont care for. And having fallen in love with Moscato, I though what the heck.

Though this wine has a low alcohol content, and an average rating on Vivino of 3.9 I still found it to be a very delicate and pleasing wine.

My notes: Fresh crisp peach smell,  juicy, wonderful peach flavor, sparkling, light body, smooth finish, back and side of tongue, apple, berry. Fruity floral bouquet.

The body on this wine was so very light and refreshingly pleasing. There is very little to no Tannin. The acidity was perfectly balanced like biting into a fresh peach.

I found that this particular wine is also sold at World Market for about $12, so finding it at Trader Joe's for $8.99 was a steal.

I am going to have to keep this one in stock for those special occasions.



~Cheers
