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 - Cuilleras Cote du Rhone


Name: Cuilleras Cote du Rhone

Variety: 70% Grenache, 20% Old Carignan, 10% Syrah
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2010
Price: $11.95
Shop Review: Le Deves is a wine with great lively acidity which gives it great freshness.  You’ll taste lots of black cherry and currant fruit with some notes of licorice and minerals.  You will be transported to the south of France.  Now, that is a trip I never mind taking.
My Review: The Cote du Rhone had a beautiful ruby color.  It had a slightly acidy, licorice nose.  This full-bodied wine had black cherry flavors, hints of other dark fruits and a slightly dry finish.

I had this wine alone without any food.
