Tasting - Purple Toad Black Shadow

 1) 

2) 
3) Black Shadow, Concord, United States, Kentucky, ? has no date on bottle, $14.99

4) This must be a pretty rare wine because I could not find any reviews of black shadow

5) From Wine Folly book, concord has grape, plum sauce, musky, potting soil, and cumin flavors. Combines well with peanut butter sandwich to make an alcoholic PB&J. Most planted grape in New York

6) I drank this wine by itself with no food. It tasted very grapey kind of like jelly as i expected since the concord grape is used to make grape jelly. It was quite sweet as well. Lots of fruitiness and not a lot else. It went down easy and I enjoyed it but I'm not sure if it's my favorite. Overall rating 7.3/10

 1.  2.  3. Winking Owl, Sauvignon Blanc, United States, California, 2017, $2.99 4. Review from Viviano, This white wine opens nose of citrus and floral. It is dry with light citrus and acidity. flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus 5. From wine folly, A unique tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Flavors include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. Made in many different places. pages 165-166 6. I had this wine with no food. The feel in the mouth was very light and dry but not crazy dry. I did not taste a lot of the herbaceous flavors described in the book. I tasted more green apple and citrus flavors. Maybe a little lemon too. I did not enjoy it as much as the other wines I've tasted so far. It said on the bottle to pair this with seafood or light pasta dishes so I will have to try that next time. Overall rating 7.0/10
