Wine 32: Shiraz

Another filler wine while waiting for something new to try. The important thing about filler wines is to just make sure they are cheap and good.

Black Opal, Shiraz 2009
color: dark garnet
aroma: forgot
taste: It was dark and slightly smoky. I forget anything beyond that.
rating: good

Wine 31: Castillo Red

More catch up. This is the last of the Florida wines I have and then I will be moving on to some more pedestrian wines, then some Serbian stuff. I also just made a decent sized order including some charbono, which I've wanted to try for a long time.






San Sebastian Winery, Castillo Red
color: blood red
aroma: raspberry
taste: It was light and tangy with light tannins, cranberry and a little strawberry.
rating: decent
