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 - Protocolo Blanc

Name: Protocolo Blanc

Variety: 70% Airen, 30% Macabeo
Region: Manchuela
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $6.95
Shop Review: 87 points, Stephan Tranzer.  Greenish gold.  Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle.  Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness.  Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon.  As usual, this is an outstanding value.
My Review: This wine was light gold in color and had an almost overwhelming citrus aroma.  It tasted tart, and had flavors of an unidentifiable fruit.

I had this wine alone without any food.
