Wine Critic Review: "Ruby red in color. Provides an elegant bouquet suggesting fruit and rose petals. Contains abundant spices and provides a lengthy finish. A full-flavored wine that goes well with roasts of both light and red meats; game. Should be served between 60-64°F." -Bacco Wine and Spirit
My review: This wine had a beautiful dark red color. It had a strong dark fruit taste of raspberries. Dry, and earthy. It was similar to several other Pinot Noir wines I have tasted. This wine is from the same Italian winery as the Riesling I tasted and it has a piece of the grapevine attached to each bottle as well.

Name: Italo Cescon Riesling 2014
Variety: Riesling
Year: Non-Vintage
Country: Italy
Region: Veneto
Price: $11.99
Wine Critic Review: "Straw yellow color with green hues. A fresh and fragrant aroma that is delicately intense. The wine's taste is fresh and elegant with good structure and a full body. An off-dry wine displaying a nice acidity. Can be enjoyed with seafood, chicken, veal and oysters. Best served between 46-50° F." -Bacco Wine and Spirits
My review: This wine was not too dry of a Riesling. This fresh white wine was pretty good. There were not any strong flavors in this wine and it was very smooth to drink. An interesting aspect of this winery is that they attach a piece of the grapevine to every bottle. I liked this wine, but I would prefer to purchase a different Riesling.

Name: Three Thieves Pinot Grigio 2014
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Year: 2014
Country: U.S.A.
Region: Trinchero Napa Valley, California
Price: $8.99
Wine Critic Review: "Bright light silvery straw color. Delicate, fruity, toasty aromas and flavors of fresh peach tart and nut brittle with an crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, appealing, relaxed apple, lemon-lime chiffon, and tapioca finish with fruit tannins and no oak. A very tasty and lively pinot grigio." Scored as an 88 point wine

My review: This light wine tasted like springtime. It had a floral, almost sunflower smell. Soft fruit flavors and hints of apples and fresh air were the traits that I liked the most in this wine. I enjoyed this Pinot Grigio and would drink it again.
I did not consume this wine with food.
