So, yesterday, I had to buy me some Mega Millions tickets in NJ (it was up to $162M yesterday, and no one hit it), and while over in Jersey, I picked up another bottle of the Vision Viogner by Cono Sur, talked with my favorite worker there -- Canal's Liquors on Route 38--, met another wine rep and also picked up this Chardonnay, which had a nice tag, and was less than $6.

Now, I know what you're thinking, a $6 bottle of wine can't be good, but you don't remember the 2003 Calina Reserve Chardonnay that I raved about. This wine is phenomenal. It is the truth!

The bouquet is wonderful, and the flavors immense. You smell bright flowers and lemon, reminding you of your momma's good spring cleaning. The taste is exotic, tropical, mesmerizing. It has pineapple, papaya, lemon, lime, and maybe even a little bit of blackberry to it.

My perfect Xmas present would be a case of this wine. Now, it's on you. Try it.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
