Glancing down at my blackberry i realized that the day was Saturday. Wine and Words on Main St in Washington Nc has wine tasting every Friday and Saturday. The wine shops beautiful Sommelier always has great wines from all over the world. This week was no different. </span><br />

It should be opened within 2 years and served at approximately 10°C. </div><div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;"><br />

The sweet aroma takes you through fields of delightful wake induced lucid dreams, almost smells so good that drinking it seems like a waste of fragrance. Then you wave good bye to the 2 seconds ago and immerse your palate into a lake of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">ecstasy</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 1.5em;">. Whats remarkable is, the crisp sweet dryness that is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">pleasant</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 1.5em;"> from start to finish. The barrel isn't over whelming, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">actually</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 1.5em;"> is very very subtle, the transition is consistent in, there really is no transition.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">The first thing I remember about this wine was how incredibly smooth it was. In the start, the dry bitter sweetness glides across your tongue as to coat it with a deep dark flavor. The barrel is well noted but not over powering. The taste seems to stay in your mouth for a good minute. Also, it left a some what fuzziness on my lips that was pretty nice.</span></span></span><br />

</div>alright now that your mind is in the right place...<br />
<br />
Lets talk vodka. This isnt my first time with this beautiful vodka. It is the first time however reviewing it. So ill start by telling a little of Svedka Vodka's secrets. This work of art was crafted in Sweden. Distilled 5 times to insure smoothness and one can definitely notice this. It goes down smooth, i drink it with water and ice, and it taste like the tear from a glacier. At 40% (80 Proof) the buzz is very mellow and relaxing. This taste as pure as i think one could hope for with out springing for grey goose and only cost half the price. My bottle totaled out to be $15.20.<br />

<br />
The bottles been open for 5 minutes. The smell is very aromatic of freshly picked red cherries and plums, can sense some sort of a spice, but not sure which. Pouring the first glass now. The Red color of the wine itself is a beautifully vibrant fuchsia. Looks like the juice of a blackberry almost.<br />
<br />
The concoction is very thick, this is known to be full-bodied. Almost like syrup. The texture is interesting to say the least. Let me try a second drink. Yup, still thick. It kind of bothers me a bit that its so thick. I think i would much rather this if it were a significant amount dryer. Because the initial slime feeling that coats my tounge makes me ignore the thought that it might have a different flavor and i instantly swallow it with out much of an after taste. The grapes linger a bit, but no real initialization. No real flavor to this. Its like. Boredom for my taste buds. Boredom and rejection.<br />
<br />
Wait what is this, was i drinking it wrong the whole time?! I drank it a little faster that sip, forcing the alcohol up the backside of my soft palate, IS THIS OAK my nose sense?! Possibly.. Also after breathing in a cup, or perhaps the first few sips lightened me up,im not sure, its starting to taste better. The warmth on the body that its starting to generate is very subtly and relaxing as if too be a soft melody sung by rock beached sirens.<br />
<br />
Inconclusion..<br />
I believe this wine to be a total fail, and will probably never drink it again. I didnt like the texture, not much flavor, and all around sucky experience.. Though it was pretty and smelled lovely.<br />
<br />
Cost + tax : $4.78<br />
Chaos Rating: 1/5<br />

Ive recently gained interest into the topic of wine. Im taking this topic, trying to disect everything thing that it is to be a wine conisour, and do it on an extreeme budget. Im doing this now, as a poor man, so later when i have my own private jet, it wont be stocked with expensive ajax and tonic.<br />
