Martini & Rossi Asti Sparkling Wine - 2009
Type: Sparkling Wine
Year: 2009
Price: ?
Rating: 5 - One of my favorites
Where Bought: ?
Comments: Happy New Year ! I don't have sparkling wine often, but I do like the Asti's taste. Its a little sweeter and really great when chilled. We discovered a nice added touch to ringing in the new year. To prolong the chill of the glass without using ice, which just melts and dilutes the wine, you can use frozen fruits like cherries, strawberries or whatever you prefer. It adds a nice amout of additional flavor to the sparkling wine.
Beringer White Zinfandel 2008
Type: White Zinfandel
Year: 2008
Price: ?
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: ?
Comments: I am not much of a white wine person, so I just created a catch all white wine category. We bought this wine for the Holidays and for guests. I don't remember where we bought it or the cost, but it seemed fine. I rated it a three, since I am guessing it won't be the last white wine we would buy, more specifically for the Holidays.
Coppola Rosso 2007
Type: Rosso
Year: 2007
Price: 6.99 <-- Marked down from 7.99
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: I loved the previous Rosso by Francis Ford Coppola. It was marked as a 2006 and was consistantly a full bodied, enjoyable bottle of wine. However, this newer release of the same wine seems to be lighter and not of the same consistancy. A littled disappointed, but will try it at least one more time. Hopefully, it will get better with age. (Update), Similar is the 2009 version, but somehow, I like that one a little better.
