Price: ~$15 average (was a gift)
Wine review: This
well-priced Friulano would pair nicely with spicy Indian or Thai food thanks to
the creaminess and richness of its mouthfeel. In addition, the wine offers a
solid bouquet of peach and melon that would not compete with fragrant
ingredients. 87-Wine Enthusiast
My review: Smells of
acid and nail polish remover. The nail polish smell intensifies as the wine
warms up in the glass. The taste is significantly better than the smell, it’s
still very acidic but it’s not completely overpowering. No sweet notes at all
pretty much straight tang. Taste isn’t
offensive but it’s not pleasant either. The smell kills any drinkability it
ever had.
CONCLUTION: Wouldn’t drink again
Side Note: I did get to learn how to use the rabbit ear wine opener with this bottle.
