  Name:  Mauricio Lorca Block 1 Malbec Varietal:  100% Malbec Region:  Los Arboles Country: Argentina Year: 2015 Price:  $9.95 Winery Review:  " Vibrant blue fruit, perfumed violets and some roasted spices. Full-bodied with genuine fruit that is sweet, but not overly generous. Lots of spice on the mid-palate, which is held together by a dense, fine-tannin framework.  Still youthful, indicating outstanding potential ahead." Wine Folly:  " Argentina’s most important variety came by way of France, where it’s commonly called Côt (sounds like “coat”). Wines are loved for their rich, dark fruit flavors and smooth chocolatey finish." With primary flavors of red plum, blackberry, vanilla, sweet tobacco, and cocoa. https://winefolly.com/grapes/malbec/  Personal Review:  This was my favorite wine at this tasting; it was a red that I actually enjoyed. I could really taste the cocoa and chocolate that were listed in the Wine Folly Malbec page. It was smooth and not too powerful

    Name:  Pierinvaletta Moscato d'Asti Varietal: 100% Moscato Region:  Piemonte Country:  Italy Year: 2020 Price:  $9.95 Winery Review:  "From the famed organic Barbaresco producer, this organic wine, made from 100% Moscato grapes, features aromas and flavors of sweet tropical fruits, while balancing the ripeness of the fruit with a pleasant acidity. A great deal for a great wine, take a chance and really enjoy it!" Wine Folly:  " An ancient aromatic white variety originally from Greece that’s available in many styles, from dry to sweet to still, sparkling, and fortified." With primary flavors being orange blossom, meyer lemon, mandarin orange, pear, and honeysuckle. https://winefolly.com/grapes/muscat-blanc/    Personal Review:  I enjoyed this wine a lot. Like I have said in previous blog posts, I am a big fan of whites. I could definitely taste the orange blossom and mandarin orange in the wine, which are primary flavors according to the Wine Folly website. T
