Wine&Spirits- Photos&Reviews

   Spring is here for the most and so as new, our senses change with the seasons.

New foods & drinks as we celebrate with our friends & family. I big Happy Mother's Day to Mothers everywhere, soon to be Mothers and Those who Want to be Mothers!

I enjoy trying new things, so I decided to taste test some things out there that you may or may NOT know about! I am not a spokesperson for any of these companies, but I did create these photos in my studio. ~Big Smile~

Wines~ I prefer Reds always with an occasional White.

Most Recent Try~ Beaujolais by two French brands:
 Manoir Du Carra &  Louis Jadot.

 This low tannin form of wine is made from the Gamay Grape of France.

  This is too Floral. This was so bad that I couldn't finish the smidge I put in my wine glass. It was for me what it would be like to drink PERFUME! ~HORRIBLE!~

Price $13.99

Louis Jadot- Is a better French Beaujolais, It has Great spice, Smooth $17.99

Manoir du Carra-France (YUCK)

 

 

The Kraken- Black Spiced Rum

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rum: Distilled from the Sugar Cane with Major Production in the Caribbean, No wonder the Chance to Say " Release the Kraken, shall never get old Now that there is the Kraken Black Spiced Rum.

 

 I find it smooth and less spicy than Captain Morgan, which I like. I have associated Captain Morgan with cooking and the holidays, that I prefer not to drink it. The Kraken has more of a black cherry, vanilla undertone. I pair this with my favorite Cola to help out a sweet tooth. It's 2nd Shelf and in the price range of $16.90

 

 

Gin

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gin, A distilled grain, then redistilled with botanicals such as the Juniper Berry. It's hard to say exactly how gin came about as it is derived in French, Dutch & Italian from the words that all mean Juniper.
  I prefer my Gin with a Tonic Water that gives you fizz with flavor, leaving out the sugar. Its good for hot nights in the South and it isn't heavy. I like this Gin, its clean and refreshing. In Price Range is $13.97


                                                                       E&J Brandy

Brandy is a Brandywine (burnt wine) Dutch word Brandewijn.

 It is Distilled wine. Served & Drank as Neat room temp or on the rocks.

 I like Brandy on cold winter's nights in front of the fire place with my puppy, a book or old movie. I liked this brand, its the Extra Smooth version in the Price Range  $11.95
