Recently I decided to try Club W, a monthly wine club.  Basically you sign up, take a quiz on things you like and they suggest wine for you to order.  The bottles range between $13-26, and you get to select what is shipped to you.  Oddly after I did my quiz they suggested only Red wines.  I haven’t found a red that I like, so this surprised me.  I went through the site and selected 3 whites I typically enjoy.  I ordered a sparkling white, Gewurztraminer, and White blend.  The wines were shipped quickly once I completed my order.  I was notified the day before delivery because someone who is over 21 has to sign for the package (I shipped to my work because of this).

The first wine I tried was the Gewurztraminer.  It was nothing like other’s I have tried.  It was bland with an odd after taste.  Typical Gewurztraminer are a crisp fruit filled flavor.  If you haven’t tried Gewurztraminer I highly recommend Fetzer (check your local grocery).

Next I poped the sparkling white for Mimosas.  It was very good.  The best part was I didn’t get a terrible migraine after a glass, which normally happens to me with sparking wine.

The blended white was nice, smooth taste, and what I expected.  Defiantly a bottle I will order again.  I will order another month from Club W, however I am not sure if it is something I will do all year long.  I have certain wines I enjoy and spending money on wine’s I haven’t tried is like Russian Roulette to me.

Here are some fun tips to get you through a wine tasting.
