Wine Drank by John Jaster
I went from tea totaler to Wine Century Club member and have tried 156 different wine grapes in three years.
Capene Malvolti Prosecco; Blaauwklippen Landau; Nicolis Valpolicella; Chateau Rully

Carpene Malvolti, Prosecco di Conegliano (Italy) - It's a quality white bubbly in an off-dry style but it's really rather unremarkable and I think it's no coincidence this type of wine is used in Bellini's and other mixed drinks.  It's simply a 5 out of 10 for lower average.


Blaauwklippen, Landau, Semi-Sweet 2005 (South Africa) - A decent mild white blend, really not as sweet as the label implies, and fairly weak in flavor.  It's decent but nothing to cheer about.  5 out of 10 for lower average.


Nicolis, Valpolicella, 2005 (Italy) - This was very highly recommended by a wine store but to be honest it's a rather weak and mild red.  There is some cherry - just not nearly enough.  5 out of 10 for lower average.


Chateau de Rully, Comte R. de Ternay, Appelation Rully Controlee, 2001 (France) - This is a Chardonnay from an appelation of France I've never tried before.  I remember it was over $20 so I was expecting something special.  Nah.  It was buttery but rather bitter actually, hints of melon rind.  Really I could barely stand this one although Nancy managed to finish it over time.  Simply 4 out of 10 for lower average.
