Black Mountain

I used this wine for my oil bottle photo shoot, and I think I splurged a little on the price, although I don't remember it. It was a few months ago.

I do remember really really liking the wine though! Maybe that's because I was also munching on fancy herbed kalamata olive oil, grapes, fresh parm, and baguette. Hm?

I should buy this wine again and see if it's really as good as it seemed. Or I should recreate the whole photo shoot, since that was definitely good!

Wrapped Bottle Chianti

Sean really liked this wine the first time we had it, but then decided it wasn't as good the second time. I can't remember anything about it from either time, so I guess it was okay but not great.

It comes in this cool raffia-wrapped bottle, which might be impressive for company or something, but I think it was a little more expensive than the super cheap-0 stuff we've been drinking. Probably not worth getting again.

Egri Merlot $3.99

This wine is from Hungary, and I love that the distributor is "Vitavin". Like, "wine for life" or something like that. Very nice! Also, the bottle is an especially nice, dark green color.

The wine tasted like German schnapps: extremely fruity, but really sour. I really really liked it! It went horribly with the pasta and tomato sauce that Sean had made for dinner, but it was really interesting and unexpected.

I would certainly get this again, especially since it was on the very cheap side ($3.99, I think), but I don't know when I'd serve it. Maybe after dinner? It's definitely not a dessert wine, though. Just something interesting to drink.

Oh, I love the label too! Stark white with bright red and black lettering--very German. Or, more probably, Hungarian.
