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 - López Panach Tempranillo


Name: López Panach Tempranillo

Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Castilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $3.95
Shop Review: This wine boasts a beautiful red ruby color with a purple hue; brighter than its previous vintages.  This wine’s fresh and bright with nuances of dark fruits like blackberries, black currants and raspberries.  Inviting aromas of spices, wild flowers and violets.  Fresh in the mouth with good structure, well-balanced acidity and a medium finish.
My Review:  This ruby wine had vegetal aromas and a certain staleness to it.  It also tasted vegetal and dry, and honestly the work I kept thinking was “yucky.”

I had this wine alone without any food.
