Middle Sister is one of the really eye catching and ingenious lines I have seen (either that or I don't get out much).
Erin Wassum, Terry Wheatley and Susan Lombardi are the three women behind the sisters. Erin created the sisters, using the imaginary spark she has had since childhood and was inspired by her own daughter (a middle sister herself).
Terry worked her way up the ladder at Gallo wines and became one of the few female executives for Sutter Home. She had a vision for a wine taking on the female point-of-view in a male dominated wine world. Terry created Canopy wine management which produces several leading brands along with Middle Sister. Her goal: delicious wine for affordable prices.
Susan has been an artist ever since she was a baby. Even as misunderstood as she was, she earned a degree in Advertising from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She has created packaging and designed labels for cosmetics, fragrances, consumer products and more. She feels that with her skewed sense of style she brings a breath of fresh air to newbie's and professional wine drinkers who are used to "traditional" labels.
"Help a Sister Out" is the charity project of Middle Sister, donating proceeds to "Dress for Success", a program to empower underprivileged women to achieve financial independence through professional development. Middle Sister wine also supports other charitable organizations dedicated to helping women and children including Wine, Women and Shoes, a fundraising event founded by Napa Valley's female vintners.
Onto the wine!
"You may have fewer photos in the family album, but who knew someday you'd have your very own wine. So how about sharing it with the rest of us? This spunky blend of our three favorite white varieties is perfect for sipping before, during and after our favorite family meals. Sure, you're wicked but Mom always did like you best. Now we understand."
-"Wicked White" is very light on the palate.
-There is a slight citrus aftertaste.
-A very, very slight dryness.
-No dry aftertaste.
-Very clean finish.
-A slightly rough mouth feel (not smooth).
-A very light aroma.
Overall, I give this wine a 55/100. I thought it was a little too light for me, but it is perfect as a casual wine or one who has a more sensitive palate.
That's all for now! Tomorrow I will continue with more of the "Sisters".
Jusqu'à Demain
