Upon entering a wine tasting with limited time, one needs a plan. I had roughly a half an hour and about 300 wines and liquors. Naturally I began with the light, bubbly and the pink…Here’s a limited selection of my favorites that I got a chance to sample. #1. Gosset Champagne- The Brut Excellence had fresh pear on the nose with a toasty lingering finish. The Grand Millesime Brut 1999 was my Favorite. Ripe green apples, honey and toasted hazelnuts danced in the aroma, while a dry effervescence quenches your palate. A richness I adore in Champagne. #2. “Petalo” Il Vino dell’ Amore- Moscoto Supmante- This Italian sparkler was incredibly fresh and redolent of roses on the nose, with a sweet, but not sticky, taste. It was good if you’re someone who has a sugar dominated palate. Me? I’m sweet enough. #3. Condesa de Leganza Tempranillo Rose’. This bright, diaphanous magenta Rose’ has crazy, wild strawberry-field aromatics going on with a super robust, yet clean finish with lasting notes of raspberry. Amazing. Believe it or not, it’s only about $10. BEST DEAL! I’m considering splitting a case with my friend. #4. Poggio al Vento Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva DOCG- This is the stuff my red wine dreams are made of. Earth, intensity and barnyard collide in this bad ass red with a soft elegant fruity finish.
