Volcano Winery Blush - oink - 08-09-2008
I just open a bottle of their Blush (after chilling) that I have had for a couple of years. To my uneducated palate, it's pretty good stuff. Sweet but not too sweet. A combination of grape and jabaticaba. I realize they use mostly imported juice, but still I thought it was pretty good stuff. I couldn't tell you what it had hints of or any of that fancy wine palate Verbiage. I may have to see if they will ship me some more.

What color? Dark? or could you see through it?
Many years ago I worked and lived for a few months at a going-bankrupt vineyard and winery (long story for another bottle of wine). Read everything on the place about growing grapes and making wine; and tasted everything on the place more than once or twice
Got to appreciate wine and learnt a bit.
Some time after that, eight years in Australia and a good glass of wine is not the same as anything else I can think of.
Me become a bit of snob about 'fruit wine' (e.g., Peach, Elderberry, etc).
Had some unchilled, dark jaboticaba wine (pressed in the skins) a few years back at a fine Sunday afternoon gathering down in WaaWaa. Fruity with good body and very subtle palate. Other folks there were likewise very impressed... to the last drop.
Planted myself a jaboticaba tree that week.
Think our garden is too rocky and hot here. It grows, but slowly.

I am not a fun of their wines but their Honey/MacNut "wine" is a perfect compliment to Baklava!
