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 2010 Divino


This is the last post about the wines at James River Cellars.  Next up is the Pinot Noir Old World vs. New World dinner at Palisades.  I really enjoyed my time at James River Cellars, and I look forward to visiting again at some point.  Overall, their wines were well-crafted, and they had wines that could please most everybody.

 

Name: 2010 Divino

Variety: Chardonel
Region: Central Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $20
Shop Review: Ice wine-style dessert wine with intense fruit and floral characteristics.
My Review: This pale-yellow wine is recommended to go well poured over cheesecake.  This wine had a very faint aroma, so it was difficult to pick out the bouquet.  I did smell faint pear aromas.  This wine is super-sweet with a slightly tart mid-palate.  The finish was sweet with a hint of pair.
