Tasting - winking owl sweet red

 1) 

2) 
3) Winking Owl, Concord? (did not say a certain grape on the bottle but it tasted like a concord wine I had in the past), Un9ted States, California, No vintage, $2.99

4) Review from viviano: sweet chillable wine nice on a hot day with ice strawberry and blueberry for 2.50 price at aldis. Well worth it cherry raspberry strawberry

5) From wine folly on the concord grape because that is what I assume the grape is: An american grape of the native vitis labrusca species from concord massachusetts it is the most planted grape in New York and is used for juices and flavoring. Flavors include grape, plum sauce, musk, potting soil, and cumin.

6) I drank this with no food. It smelled like strawberries, sweet cherries, and a lot like non alcholic grape juice. Was very light and easy to drink. You can't taste any alcohol. It tasted as I expected like grape juice with a sweet cherry/berry flavor. It was very sweet and it was much better with ice. Overall rating: 8.9/10

 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
