Elmo Pio Moscato

Elmo Pio Moscato, 2009, Italy

This is my friend Jen's favorite wine... she brought over a bottle last Saturday and I fell in love. I think I'll be buying another one this week...

I found it to be sweet, but refreshing. The bottle says "It exhibits a bright, refreshing flavor reminiscent of fresh peach and strawberry."

3 Blind Moose Cabernet Sauvignon

3 Blind Moose Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008, California

I'm not a Cabernet fan, but I liked this one - not too dry. Nothing really stood out for me - I probably won't specifically look for it again but would drink it if someone else did.

The bottle states it has "delicious" flavors of apple, citrus and oak.

$9.99 at the Center Twp. Wine & Spirits store.

Gnarly Head Pino Grigio

So I'm continuing on my Gnarly Head journey...

Gnarly Head Pinot Grigio, 2008, California

I can't say anything remarkable about this particular variety of Gnarly Head except that I enjoyed it. I think any pinot fan would appreciate it. I would try it again when I'm in the mood for a pinot.

The back label states that it starts with flavors of ginger and pineapple, then crisp flavors of pear, apple and stone fruit and then it "kicks out" with style & grace. $12.99 at the Center Twp. Wine & Spirits.
