About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

Tasting - Antano Crianza


Name: Antano Crianza

Variety: Blend of Tempranillo, Grenache, Graciano and Mazuelo
Region: Rioja
Country: Spain
Year: 2008
Price: $8.95
Shop Review: What a terrific value in everyday Rioja!  Based in the beautiful small town of Briones in Rioja Alta, Atano’s rioja is delicious and offers wonderful typicity in a crianza style Rioja: loads of fresh, spicy black cherry and hints of vanilla and toast combined with fresh acidity in a medium-bodied, textbook crianza that is perfect for a nicely balanced, delicious house red.
My Review: This Crianza had a ruby color and a spicy and toasty nose.  This full-body wine had various flavors of dark fruits with a dry finish.

I had this wine alone without any food.
