Tasting:

She said: We had this with Brie cheese and didn’t like the pairing, but having it without food this time showed its potential. I don’t know what food would best go with it but don’t care because it is a very unique wine and I enjoy sipping it without other competing or complementary tastes. The first smell and taste suggests sherry, which I love, but subsequent tastes bring more into play. Creamy, with complex flavors the wine had a refreshing acidity that lasted into the long succulent finish. I tried it with unsalted peanuts and salted pretzels but decided it was delicious all on its own.
