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!

James River Cellars 2008 Colonial Red


Name: 2008 Colonial Red

Variety: Merlot
Region: Central Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $10
Shop Review: Cinnamon and spice and everything nice.  Perfect Holiday Wine!
My Review: I was told that people tend to either love or hate this wine.  I ended up in the rare “eh, it’s ok” camp.  This wine is a quick press merlot with minimal skin time.  Some sugar and cinnamon was added after fermentation.  It smelled of spiced apples and cinnamon.  This wine tasted a bit spicy with some cinnamon notes.
