Here is our very first wine review from January of this year. I must note that we had tried some wine in the past but really had no idea what to buy and how to taste it. I remember we picked this bottle up at Sprouts. It is a locally produced wine, and we try to buy local when possible. I thought a White Merlot sounded quite intriguing. Reading back on this review makes me laugh. January 4, 2010: Kokopelli Winery White Merlot Dave: Pretty color, like a red juicy fruit, sour and butterscotch. Yum, sweet, light but rich. Called a “White Merlot” but it doesn’t taste like Merlot. Steve might even go for this one. Faint odor, alcohol swab. (He gave it B- for his first glass and his second glass earned a C+.) Kelly: Super sweet! Light flavor. A bit fruity and a tiny bit tart with a touch of cough syrup. Doesn’t me think “hey this is a good Merlot!” It does not taste like Merlot. (I gave it 3.5 stars. I guess I was using a different system in the beginning.) So there you have it folks, the beginning.
