The "Get to Know Me" Post

Where do I start when it comes to my  hopes, aspirations, dreams, contemplations, wonders, and feels for this "class." I put class in quotes because I still haven't understood the physics behind how I am being graded for consuming"social lubricant;" and I don't think my parents understand a hundred percent either. At the end of the day I think this class is going to help me my most bougie self.

I love to tell everyone else that I love wine and that I am a connoisseur, and by them knowing me, they never question me and believe that I know everything about wine already. So far on my wine journey, I've found that I really love reds, the dry stuff, and wines with berries. My favorite wine so far, is cabernet sauvignon, one because I love the smoky deep taste, but also because I love saying and ordering it. I really want to be able to talk about wine history, flavor profile, and the cultural aspects that come with different wines. My family does not really drink wine, but I am hoping that this class is able to help me introduce it to them in a fun and "educational" fashion.

I am a soon to graduate senior, studying business management. I think that this class would be very applicable to my major and life because I feel that many deals and solutions can be accompanied by a nice glass of wine. I love the fact that wine can be enjoyed socially and educationally, and I am ready to learn from it and with it.

Tasting: Risata Prosecco

Risata Prosecco Extra Dry Italy $16 Winery Review:  The nose has the scent of ripe peaches. It is semi-sweet with peach apricot and floral notes on the palate. My Review: This was a nice refreshing wine that was a real easy drinker. The wine offered aromas of nectarine and peaches, followed by peaches on the palate accompanied by light citrus hints. This wine had low tannins and can be enjoyed all throughout the day! I tried this wine by itself.

Tasting: Palacio del Burgo Rioja Tinto

Palacio del Burgo Rioja Tinto  ( 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha & 5% Mazuelo) Rioja Spain 2015 $8.95 Winery Review:  Bright violet. Vibrant red and dark berry scents are complemented by hints of cola and candied flowers. Fresh and energetic on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Gentle tannins build slowly on the clinging finish but are no match for the plush, primary fruit. This delicious Rioja drinks surprisingly well already. My Review: This was a nice subdued wine that was bright and fillin. The wine gave dark berry notes accompanied by low orange and very sweet notes that attributed to the brightness of teh wine. The wine was easy to drink and low tannins.  I drank this wine by itself.

Prime's Ruby Port (Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cao, Tinta Roriz) Oporto Portugal $11.95 Winery Review:  Ruby color with red fruit aromas; pleasantly sweet and balanced taste. As the wines used to produce Prime’s Ruby Port age , they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby color. They are then blended together for smoothness and consistency. My Review: This was a great flavorful port. There were nice bold flavors that were silky smooth; wiht flavors of oak and plum. I tried this wine by itself.
