I got this bottle of wine after reading about it in the "Special Best of Year Issue" Wine Enthusiast Magazine. With a rating of 91 points, and ranking 27 in their list of Top 100 Best Buys of 2006, at the modest price of $12.99 (at BevMo), I had some rather high expectations on this wine.
Very pale in the glass. Hard to detect the aroma. Was it to cold? I let the glass heat up in my cupped hands for quite a while. A new try. A very shy, but fresh, nose with hints of pineapple and tropical fruit. Time to taste. Again, hard to detect flavors. Some tropical fruit, some minerals but overall just plain. Was there something wrong with my bottle? It didn't seem corked to me, and the cork had not been bleeding... Maybe it was in a so-called closed/dumb stage?
I was very disappointed in this wine. Not bad tasting, just not tasting at all... I vacuum pumped it and tasted in for three consecutive days. All with the same result.
Maybe I totally missed something here. Maybe it is supposed to be so delicate as to almost not existing. This wine is a mystery to me. I would love to here your comments on this one!

hello. you have some wonderful posts, but you need to be careful about the picture you use. unless you take a picture yourself, you need get permission from the copyright holder to republish their work. "borrowing" pictures from other sites without permission is a copyright violation.
I love your site and think that any pictures that promote ones product is?? Well, you will be just fine.
I look forward to the the video Blogs. I have noticed you have quite a following your site as of today is top 17. Congratulation!

Hi from Laurel's mother-in-law.
Thanks Lilly, glad to hear you enjoy it. I will have a new video blog out soon. Just been kind of busy lately and have not had time to do one... It's coming though...
lilly, it is not that simple.
victoria has reproduced a picture which i licensed from a photographer.
of course victoria is promoting my product and i have no problem with that. but if the photographer sees the photograph, it is a different story.
this is how photographers makes their money and i don't think they would take too kindly.
I haven't thought of it as a copyright violation... Seems like everybody out there is doing it. I'll be more careful in the future...
