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!

Apothic White


We loved Apothic Red, We love Apothic White!  A blend of Chardonnay, Riesling and Moscato gives this white blend something for everyone and is sure to satisfy almost all palates.  This wine starts out with the sweet honey and fruit flavors of the Moscato.  The Riesling gives you a crisp, clean and refreshing flavors of citrus and apples.  The smooth buttery chardonnay finishes this wine nicely.
