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 - Resonata Nero D'Avola

Name: Resonata Nero D’Avola

Variety: 100% Nero D’Avola
Region: Sicily
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95
Shop Review: Dense ruby red with violet reflections.  Lush and ripe bouquet full of mulberries, blackberries and spice.  Harmonious and well-balanced with good berry fruit in a spicy background.
My Review: This wine had a ruby and slightly rust-like color.  It has acidic aromas of pepper, blackberries and cocoa powder.  When I tasted it, it was very dry and seemed almost as if it evaporated immediately in my mouth.  I couldn’t get many flavors out of it, and it smells better than it tastes.

I had this wine alone without any food.
