Wine 63: Feteasca Neagra

Another wine I drank long ago, probably January,  and am just now blogging about. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture when I was drinking it. However, I did keep the bottle because I am starting to save those up for wine making.

Munte Vinu, Feteasca Neagra
color: dark garnet
aroma: berry, floral, vanilla
taste: It was medium dry and I hoped letting it breathe would add some flavor but that never really arrived. There was some subdued light strawberry with a hint of tannins.
rating: decent

Wine 62: Cava

This was a New Years celebration wine, which shows how far back I am in blogging. It is generally the only time I have a sparkling wine.

Seguara Viudes, Brut Reserva Cava
color: very light
aroma: straw and oak
taste: It was very dry, like sprite without the sweetness. There was definitely some lemon flavor.
rating: decent

Wine 61: Zilavka

I drank this a while ago, but stopped blogging for a while. Time to restart with another wine I got hunting around Cleveland with my Dad. It is one of the rare white's I drink, 90% Zilavka and 10% Bena.

Kameno, Winery Citluk 2007
color: dandelion yellow
aroma: white grape, lemon
taste: It was fairly dry with citrus flavors, especially lemon.
rating: good

Wine 60: Portugieser

I got this one hunting for obscure wines in Cleveland. It is possible that this variety is just a synonym for a more common variety. Oh well.

Darting, 2006 Portugieser
color: rose
aroma: berry, fruit punch
taste: It was light with no tannins. There were floral flavors with a hint of berry and carbonation. It would probably be better chilled and not in December
rating: decent summer wine
