Winery Review: gPG is from the delle Venezie regions of northeastern Italy. A clean and crisp palate with plenty of texture and weight follows aromas of apples and zesty lemons. It's perfect with grilled white fish or light risotto.
My Review: The nose on this wine was very zesty and lemony as the review stated. It tasted very tart was a little too acidic for my taste.
I did not have food with this wine.

Winery Review: Oveja Negra Reserva Rosé is bright cherry-red in color and has an attractive nose with aromas of raspberries and strawberries as well as plum and a bit of green apple. Crisp and juicy on the palate with a slight sweetness that accompanies the red fruit flavors. Pleasing natural acidity with medium high intensity, nice persistence, and a fresh finish.
My Review: The nose on this wine had strawberry notes. After doing the "swishy swishy", the overall effect was very light on my palate.

Winery Review: This smooth Portuguese red is a blend of Castelão (45%), Tinta Roriz (25%), Tinta Barroca (20%) and Pinot Noir (10%). The vineyards are located near Lisbon, planted in sunny gentle slopes of clay and limestone soils. The wine was aged in oak barrels.
My Review: I really enjoyed this wine! There was a little bit of tannic taste but it was not as peppery as I expected. There was a nice amount of heat on the finish.

Winery Review: 100% Tempranillo. Dark red. Spicy red berries and cherry on the nose, with hints of cracked pepper and dried rose. Crisp and dry on the palate, with spicy redcurrant and cherry flavors, light tannins and a fresh, energetic finish. An excellent value, and surprisingly elegant for this price point.
My Review: This wine was very full-bodied. It had a spiciness and tartness to it.

Winery Review: Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity with flavors of apricots and tangerine. Well balanced acidity and medium finish with layers of sweet and citrus fruit.
My Review: The nose on this wine was very, very sweet. It had pear and plum notes. It felt bubbly in my mouth and I definitely got citrus flavor like the review mentioned.
