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!

Stella Rosa Moscato d'Asti DOCG

The 2014-2015 WinEZ season is off to a snowy start.  A foot of the white stuff may have kept a few people snuggled at home in front of their fires, but for those who came out it was a night of really good wine.  Starting out the night Stella Rosa’s Moscato d’Asti DOCG from the Piedmont region of Italy.  This is a really good Moscato- full flavors of pears and honey crisp apples, sweet but not sugary or syrupy, and a nice clean finish.  Add this to your holiday shopping list.
