Argentina - Mendoza - Colores del Sol

Colores del Sol - (Aug 2017) I was given a bottle of their 2015 reserva malbec. What  a nice wine. Cherry aromas, followed by blackberry, cherry and cocoa on the palette, finishing with light tannis and a white pepper finish.

New Jersey - Cape May Court House - Natale Vineyards

Natali Vineyards - (July 2016) While we were waiting to go to a wedding reception, we decided to stop by for a tasting. Unfortunately, we were too late to do a tasting but I decided to buy the Tempranillo. A year later, I was given another tempranillo from Texas and decided to try them side by side. It started off similar to a young wine, needing more time, with notes of plum. As it aged over my four day tasting, it got better, but did not stand out like the one from Texas.

Georgia - Tiger - Tiger Mountain Vineyards

Tiger Mountain Vineyards - (July 2016) While we were in Savannah at the Salt Table enjoying a wine tasting, They had the petit manseng available for purchase, but not for tasting. I'm glad I purchased it without tasting. This light white wine has a nice green apple aroma and an acid finish. I shared this with many of my friends at my birthday party.
