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!

Lost Angel Moscato 2010


Lost Angel Moscato from Foley Family Wines seems to be a little lost on what the typical Moscato is all about, but this is not necessarily a bad thing.  Lost Angel offers a heartier Moscato with a little more complexity than what we are use to.  This wine starts out as the sweet desert wine we expect, but with a few citrus (we say lemon, the label says orange) peel twists along the way. We certainly enjoyed this wine selection, but rated it slightly lower because of its diversion from the norm.
