wine tasting Lazzaro Chardonnay 2010



Name Lazzaro Chardonnay
Year 2010
Price $6.95
Region Meddoza
country Argentina

Wine review

Opens with mellow peach and melon aromas and some oak. The
palate is round, creamy and full. Tastes of spiced, dried apple with
a stalky, pithy accent.

My review
Not too dry for me, it looks like a champagne based on the color , but taste more fruity with melon and mellow peach. However, I feel the coastal vine tastes better than this.

Wine review
Coastal Vines Sparkling Wine is a light colored wine with aromas of apple and citrus. On the palate there are flavors of melon and pear. The finish is crisp and  clean. Pair with cheeses, like brie, for appetizers; grilled garlic shrimp over a bed of pasta; or with a light white cake for dessert.

My review
A great fruity mixed wine , fabulous palate as I could taste the melon and peer flavors. I had it with a small piece of cheesecake since I knew this wine is a great match with desert, and it did not surprise me that it made the cheesecake tastes ten times better.

Dinner - Zeppoli's Italian restaurant (Italy) 

Today I am not in a good mood, so I decided to go to taste some wine with dinner, and  this meal eventually made me my day. I felt better is not because of the alcohol in the wine but the atmosphere in the restaurant and the delicious meal that I had. My favourite sweet white wine  with a delicious pasta as a combo, this combination is the best thing in the world. 





(the picture above is not the actual image of the restaurant) 

I  downloaded this picture from the google, since I forgot to take one when I got there. However, I don't think this will reduce the readers passion to see my blog as the main pictures are in the following with the delicious meal, and which I will talk more about it in the next paragraph. I arrived at the restaurant at 8 30 pm which is late as I did not drive there but walking by myself instead. It took me a while to find it as the location is sort of hidden. The address is 810 university blvd, backsburg, VA which is behind the holiday Inn hotel. 


I had a great time !! The dishes besides me is the chicken mushroom pasta and the white wine that I was holding is the German resling 2010


The 2010 Dr. L Riesling from Loosen Bros. is an entry-level Mosel Riesling produced by Ernst Loosen, owner of the highly acclaimed Dr. Loosen estate. Wine Spectator Senior Editor Bruce Sanderson, who reviews German wines for the publication, wrote of the 2010 Dr. L: Sleek and tangy, showing apricot, lime and mango flavors matched to a lively structure. There’s nice harmony and persistence through the finish.”  This wine has a touch of residual sweetness, just enough to balance the ripe acidity. Bravo!

My review
This white wine is fruity with great sweetness, which tastes great with no dryness at all. According to the wine searcher.com , its rank is 543, which I think it is being underrated, as this is the best wine I have ever tasted . 

pasta




Shrimp and Chicken Rosé
Large Gulf shrimp, sliced chicken breast and button mushrooms served in creamy tomato sauce over fusilli (spiral) pasta – 15.99


I would say this pasta does not taste as good it without drinking white German Resling since the fruity sweetness in the wine would reflect the freshness of the shrimp, and the pasta. The chief is such a genius of having this combination. Thanks for the suggestion by waiter Jessica.

At Columbia Crest we pride ourselves on delivering handcrafted, superior-quality small-lot wines, as well as affordable everyday Washington wines. Our first release in 1984 started a tradition that has established us as one of America’s most popular and fast-growing wineries.


My review
Umm, a pretty delicious wine but not as good as the previous one. However, this wine is relatively more  affordable. The best food to match with it is French bread.

wine tasting Ch St Michelle Eroica Dr Loosen Riesling 750ML







Ch St Michelle Eroica Dr Loosen Riesling 750ML
Country: United States
Region: Washington
Sub-Region: Columbia Valley
Grape Varietal: Riesling
Type: Still wine
Wine review
Eroica is the result of a special partnership of German and American winemakers to craft an extraordinary Riesling from Washington state grapes. This is more than a blend of two estates, Dr. Loosen from the Mosel and Chateau Ste. Michelle from the Columbia Valley: It`s an intermingling of Old World and New World philosophy and technique. Eroica reflects not only its variety and site, but also its heritage: bold and forward from its Washington roots, elegant and sinewy from German inspiration. Named for Beethoven`s Third Symphony, Eroica is truly a concert of Old World and New World Riesling.

My review
Good fruity sweetness of the wine . It is perhaps my favorite wine so far, I think the result can even be better if I could let it open for awhile  before I tasted it, but it was already good enough to give this wine high score. Another thing that I like it is the low dryness, with no acidity at all. Good make!
