Vintage Cellar Review: Fresh and crisp, it has a beautiful, floral bouquet. It is wonderful
with appetizers, fish, chicken, and salads.
My Review: This wine was really tricky to put the flavor to words, mostly because it was really really light. Even the smell, me and my roommate stood there for about five sniffs before giving up and just saying that it was light with a little bit of florals. The taste followed up with this too. The best part of tasting was a nice bite of acidity that took me by surprise as soon as I took a sip. I didn't know how to put the flavor into actual tastes, so the best way that I described it was cute. Now I don't use that term much, but it seemed very apropos. Now don't get me wrong, it may seem like I'm busting this wine's cute balls, but a light, delicate wine is really refreshing at times, and if I was in the right mood or had a craving then I would definitely pick it up!
