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!

Sweet Red Weinkullerei Fritz Windisch Dornfelder

The Weinkullerei Fritz Windisch Dornfelder is one of the better Dornfelders tasted at the EZ wine tastings.  If you like sweet wines this is a wine you might want to check out. It is deeply sweet with the full essence of the grape.  I thought it tasted a little too much like grape juice, but the sweet wine drinkers in the crowd loved it.
