A community portal about Wine with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of the juice of fruits, usually grapes. Although a number of other fruits - such as plum, elderberry and blackcurrant - may also be fermented, grapes are naturally chemically balanced to normally ferment completely without requiring extra sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Non-grape wines are called fruit wine or country wine. Other products made from starch based materials, such as barley wine, rice wine, are more similar to beers. The English word wine and its equivalents in other languages are protected by law in many jurisdictions.

wine label credit: Just KarenTrying new wine is all about mystery. Heck, that's half the fun! This week I wanted to share the excitement of opening a bottle of wine I would have otherwise never tried. I asked you to pick for me the bottle to drink based on hardly any information at all. What better way to make an educated decision? Alright, there may be a million better ways but that's not the point.
Here's how it worked... you voted and I drank!
Details:
Last week I tested the price of air. This week, I have decided to simply ask 'which one would you choose?' This week's poll was easy... all you had to do was decide which bottle to taste based on a generic description.
And the mystery wine you chose for me to consume was...
- Rominger West Yolo County California Rosé 2007

Memories of the good 'ol days:
Yolo County is home to UC Davis which reminds me of College... which reminds me of fun, parties, and overall great times. This wine brought me back to those days. If you want to let the good times roll with me next week, make sure to pay attention to this:
Never Wine Alone:
If you were with me for the virtual tasting via Twitter and Facebook you already have a good idea of how well this Cabby pair performed. If you missed it, take a minute to mark your calendar with next week’s tasting (Wednesday @ 6:30pm ET) and keep reading to see how it all went down.

Wine Whore Score:
My wine time tasting experience summarized by the senses...
To the eyes: Cranberry swimming in a deep murky pool of watermelon.
To the nose: Slightly musty muted hints of alcohol mixed with bittersweet cranberry.
On the tongue: Round and fruity. Fun, yet tacky like a tuxedo t-shirt!
This wine is great for the summer! Crack open a bottle, relax, and let you worries melt away. After all... it's time to party! :)
Cheers!
