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!

Cabernet Sauvignon- Rosemount

I dont' think I have ever gone wrong with a Rosemount wine, and the 2008 Cab is just right.  It beautifully balances sweetness with acidity and tannins.  The smooth texture fills your mouth with an explosion of fruity flavor and leaves a lingering sensation of spiciness. 

Varietal:    Cabernet Sauvignon
Producer/Importer:  Rosemount
Region: Australia
Vintage: 2008
Price: $9.99
Tasting notes:
 Sight (Color/Clarity): deep ruby red around the rim, with darker body
 Smell (bouquet, aroma): fruity-sweet cherries
Taste (acidity, balance, body): smooth on the tongue, sweet cherries with a spicy finish.  balanced acidity and tannins
Bottle presentation: A slightly unique bottle that is rounded at the top, but square at the bottom.  Diamond shaped label.
Label description:  No label description.  Winemakers notes from the http://www.rosemountestate.com.au/ website state "A wine with a soft, fruit-driven palate with bright, expressive fruit and great texture.  Great mid-palate fruit flavors lead to a generous finish, supported by lovely, fine tannins."
