Have you ever walked down the wine eisle and been completely overwhelmed? Where to start first? What would go good with my dinner? Is this a good deal or just cheap?
It is my duty to inform, review and keep you updated on everything from name brands vs. family owned, history, location and great deals on everyday wines.

Will you drink to that?

Minnesota State Fair Extravaganza! (pt.1)

Greetings and Salutations!

We interrupt the Yellow Tail review line for these special reviews! The Minnesota State fair is currently in session. In their lovely agriculture building is a section dedicated to sampling some of Minnesota's local brands.

Today, we'll be looking at "Potter John's White" from Falconer Vineyards in Red Wing, Minnesota.

Falconer Vineyards opened in 2003, settled in the historical bluffs of Red Wing. Started by John Falconer and Ann Lowe, Falconer Vineyards offers for you to take in the scenery, put up your feet or enjoy their own wood fired pizza in the bistro.

Onto Potter John's White (no picture available).

My findings are as follows:
-This wine has a pleasant, light fruity aroma.
-Light in color with a slight golden sheen.
-Has a very small bite to it, but not unpleasant.
-This wine is beautifully smooth with a semi-sweet taste.
-It's very, VERY light bodied with a clean finish on your palate. There are no lingering tastes.

I was pleased with this wine. I was lead astray because I first saw the description as sweet and it turned out to be more of a semi-sweet. But, in the end, I wasn't disappointed.

Overall rating: 65/100

More State Fair fun coming next!

Jusqu'à Demain
