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 - Emeri Pink Moscato


                         Name: Emeri Pink Moscato

Variety: 100% Muscat
Region: Unknown
Country: Australia
Year: Non-vintage
Price: $13.95
Shop Review: Pale translucent pink.  Fresh fruit aromas with strawberry and musk.  Medium sweet, light bodied.  The perfect aperitif on its own or enjoy with fresh fruits or seafood.
My Review: First, a fun fact I learned from talking to the distributer at the Vintage Cellar: This wine is made by an Italian family (the De Bortoli’s) who moved to Australia three generations ago.  That is quite a big move!  This wine has a lovely pink color with grapefruit and other light fruit aromas.  It has a very low alcohol content, at 8.0%.  It has a light and slightly bubbly sweet fruity taste.  Like the Moscato from my post on Friday, it is perfect for any sweet tooth!  Remember, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! 

I had this wine alone without any food.
