Iswithi Pinotage

I have found the most amazing wine.    It’s not the slightest bit spicey, which I think is amazing for a red wine.   It’s smooth like a rose, but it is full-bodied like a red.

It also has an alcohol content of 14 some-odd %, which I guess I should be feeling after one glass of wine, but I really don’t.    I even said to Ian, “I’m not sure there’s much alcohol in this,” where he said, “Check the label” and there it was.

It’s a nice after dinner, “I want to relax” sort of wine.

I found this wine at the Whole Foods Market.  They were having a big sampling in the store, but first, I saw it on the shelf.   Someone had just come over and specifically searched for it in the wine racks after tasting it.    A word with my personal wine expert revealed that the price was right and it might be interesting to try, so I grabbed it.

Then I went to the tasting counter and tasted it.

It’s nice when you can sample wine before taking it with you.

Naturally, since it came from the Whole Foods Market, it’s organic.  I wonder if that makes a difference to the taste in the end.    The rest of their food is very nice, if not incredibly expensive here and there (especially in the cheese aisle!).
