Have I mentioned lately that I love the new HEB they built near me? Well, I do. I love how bright and open it is and how friendly all the checkers seem to be. Oh, and the wine samples. I really, really love those.
Today's wine was Birds & Bees Sweet White. I declined the sample at first and then saw the price on the tag near the bottles. For wine I drink around the house, I generally like to spend under $15 a bottle. For company or parties, I'll splurge. This wine was under $8.00, so I took the small plastic cup.
Yum.
The wine is crisp and fruity. It's light and sweet, the way I like my wines. There is no underlying "alcohol" aftertaste. It's one of the few wines I'm willing to break my "Texas Wine Only" rule for. I'm sure, if I were inclined, I could give you the whole "with hints of berries and summer fruits" or whatever, but honestly, when I'm drinking wine, I don't think about things like that. I care about how it feels on on my tongue, what kind of aftertaste (if any) it leaves, and how it tastes. I'm happy to say that the Birds & Bees Sweet White Wine was easy to drink, left no aftertase, and was the perfect balance of sweetness (without being cloying) and crispness (without being too tart).
Mom's coming over... time to run out and buy a new bottle!
Yum. Yum. Yum.

Totally agree, it was love at first sip. Try the Red! It is easy on the palate, perfect for summer. You can dress it up or enjoy as is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion. I'm not normally a huge red wine fan, but I'm wiiling to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking the white one as we speak. Yum. Yummmmm.
