Want a Good Wine, but Not the Alcohol? Tonight We Will See if that is Possible.
<p>Tonight we are tasting two wines. One is a regular Riesling, and the other is a non-alcohol Riesling.</p><p>Three main ways to remove alcohol from wine.</p><ol><li>Vacuum Distillation. Wine is distilled under pressure, at 85-95 degrees F.</li><li>Spinning Cone uses Centrifugal force and nitrogen gas to separate wine components.</li><li>Reverse Osmosis uses high-pressure filtration.</li></ol><br/><p>One of the biggest reasons people have a problem with non-alcohol wines is the mouthfeel. </p><p>Mosel is known for steep-sloped vineyards and slate and granite soils. Alsace Rieslings are normally a little fuller-bodied, higher alcohol, and have richer flavors.</p><p><strong>Tonight</strong>, we are tasting:</p><ol><li>NV. Dr. Thanisch Riesling. Purchased from HyVee Grocery Store for around $17.00. It is a medium-sweet wine. It is a crisp, alcohol-removed Mosel wine. Notes of green apple, lemon zest, and yellow stone fruits. Balanced, slightly sweet but with lively acidity. Lots of minerality. Less than 0.5% alcohol.</li><li>2023 Pierre Sparr Grande Reserve Riesling from Alsace France. Purchased from Gateway Market for $16.00. Crisp with notes of pear, lemon zest, and apricot. Wine Advocate rated the wine an 87. I saw many different ratings for this wine. Seemed like a wide range of opinions, ranging from is was ok to very excellent wine.</li></ol><br/><p>Pairs with seafood and poultry.</p><p>Denise gave the first wine a 2-rating, and I think I may have given my first 1-rating. Our second wine had a great aroma, but I was a little underwhelmed with the flavor. We both gave it a three rating. </p><p></p>

Rose’ – Just in Time for Summer
<p>Tonight we are tasting two Rose’ wines.</p><p>There are several reasons why Rose’ is a great summer wine? First, it is bright and crisp with high acidity. Second, it is best served well chilled. Third, it has berry-driven flavors.</p><p>Despite the two areas being closely located. They produce distinct wines.</p><p><strong>Tonight</strong>, we are tasting:</p><ol><li>2024 Le Rose’ Ile De Conas. I purchased the wine from Trader Joe’s for $7.99. It is a blend of 25% Grenache Gris, 25% Grenache Noir, 20% Caladoc, 15% Pinot Gris, and 15% Cinsault. The wine comes from the South of France. The grapes are vinified separately and then aged for a few months in concrete tanks. Then they are blended. The wine has aromas of red cherries and other berries along with some floral notes. May also get notes of spice and tropical fruits. May get some flavors of watermelon and minerality. Dry crisp finish. It has 2 g/l residual sugar and 12.5% alcohol. Reverse Wine Snob gives it a bulk buy recommendation.</li><li>2024 Kirkland Signature Cotes De Provence Rose’. The wine of course comes from Costco for $7.99. Blend of 44% Grenache, 26% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, and 15% Vermentino. Comes from Cotes de Provence, France. Aroma of strawberry, cherry, and a little watermelon. Along with these flavors, you will get salty minerality, peach, citrus. It has less than 1 g/L residual sugar. 13% alcohol.</li></ol><br/><p>The Reverse Wine Snob gave both wines an 8.3 – bulk buy rating.</p><p>Rose' pairs with seafood and salads. Easy to drink on their own.</p><p>We loved both wines but would give the nod to Le Rose'. We scored both wines a 3. We definitely recommend you try these wines. </p>
