Fairwinds howling gale

Citrus ipa with pine notes on nose,  citrus mouthfeel and a malty backbone.

Citrus appears more and more as it warms up

Five Branches Red Blend

Fairly good for the price of 7.99. Medium bodied, fruit forward, a little bit of vanilla on the backend from the oak. Very easy to drink up.

Second and third tastes you see the far greater appearance of the oak aging on the wine.

Vecordia Ribiera Del Duero Joven

A dryish wine with excellent cherry on the nose and dark fruit throughout the mouthfell.

Osborn Late Bottle Vintage Port 2011

Excellent plum like texture on the nose transitioning to red berry on the finish. Very smooth and easy to drink with a subtle spice character that creates a dry feeling while still being sweet.Image result for osborn late bottled vintage 2011

Grand Mascota Malbec 2015

This is your perfect steak wine pairing. Smooth with dark fruits on the nose and red fruits evoking plum on the mouthfeel. Firm tannins make the wine stay in your mouthfeel for quite awhile and a dry finish. This is your dry summer bbq wine.

Drama Red Blend

Image result for drama red blend

This is a dry wine with a high complexity. Accents of smoke and what I can only guess at as boysenberry on the nose, cherry first blueberry second cola last on the palate, and soft but dry tannin structure.

Donnachiara Beneventano Falanghina

Apricot and pear appear on the nose and carry through to the pallate in a nicely floral smooth and citrus centered white. Great dry wine, but not for Pinot Grigio drinkers. Meant more for unoaked chardonnay lovers.
