About WiNEZ

WiNEZ was a monthly event at EZ Street Saloon in South Range, WI. Unfortunately, due to lower turn out the owners had decided to stop hosting the event. The last wine night at EZ was held on November 12, 2014. But that is not to say the die hards won't be getting together for some wine tasting periodically at EZ Street Saloon. I will continue to blog the wines we have tasted pre starting this blog, along with our impromptu meetings, and maybe transform the blog into something more personal. We will see where it goes. I do know the blog will still be about wine!

So for my WiNEZ pals you can count on this blog to serve as an archive of what was consumed and a reference for your spending sprees. For those who are just curious about what the Northwest Wisconsinites are drinking here are some thoughts… but be warned I am by no means a wine expert-I only know what I like. Since I am not an expert I will try to include the winemakers label descriptions as well.

Salute! or as the Finnish would say Kippis!

Middle Sister- Sweet & Sassy

So far I have really enjoyed the Middle Sister wines. I first saw their label on Facebook. I usually ignore the right panel of ads, but wine always catches my eye for some reason. Anyway, the company boasted of going to the streets and using social media to develop its wines. So far I think they figured out how to please the masses.

Sweet and Sassy is definitely sweet, but I don't feel a bit sassy drinking it. A little sparkle and a little more acidity would have added more sass, but the wine is still quite delightful. If you like a Moscato without the bubble this should be on your try it list. It has aromas of pears and peaches. It is sweet and light on the tongue with peach after flavors. It would be a sweet end to your day, date, or dinner.
