Penasol Sangria, Spain




Found this at the Tessco mini Mart across the street from our hotel for 3.55 pounds, or $4.73, tax included. Advantage is that it comes in a one liter paper milk bottle type container. Disadvantage is that the alcohol content is only 5%. But, it has a wonderful taste so this trip it has become our go to wine. https://penasol.com/en/

House of Brown California Rose, 2022

Image
A wine that is listed on the winery's website. And, listed for $19.99 a bottle. Which I did not pay since I bought it at Grocery Outlet. We paired this with fish and it went very well. This Rose had more taste than the average Rose, which we really liked. I would buy this again. The label is all one piece, there is no front and back, just one long label. Established in 1996,  the family-owned Brown Estate was Napa Valley's first Black-owned winery. Composition of this Rose wine is: 75% Zinfandel • 20% Muscat Blanc • 5% Viognier https://www.houseofbrown.wine/products/house-of-brown-2022-rose Produced and bottled by Brown Estate, Acampo, California. Alcohol 12,5%.

Fair Hills Cape Original, 2025, Chenin Blanc, Western Cape, South Africa

This was one of the Aldi's weekly sale wines. This was a very drinkable wine. I also liked that it was fresh, being a 2025 vintage and this being 2025. It did not stay in the bottle very long, not was it aged. I would buy this wine again. It cost 3.99 pounds or $5.33, taxes included. Chris Smit, winemaker. Bottled by Origin Wine, Stellenbosch and imported by them. Alcohol 11%. Origin Wine Stellenbosch handles over 80 million liters of wine per year and exports 72 million litres.

Eden Rift Vineyards, 2021, Chardonnay, Valiant Vineyards, Central Coast, California

This is one of the best wines we have had! Slightly buttery with complex taste that had me rolling my tongue around my mouth. We bought this at the Waring Road Grocery Outlet in San Diego. I bought it because it was a cheap white, I believe it cost $3.99 per bottle. While I was there the wine buyer of this Grocery Outlet recommended this wine to a lady for an event she was having. Good choice. This wine had a Vivino rating of 4.0 and their price is $29.39 per bottle. Produced and bottled Eden Rift Vineyards, Hollister, California. Alcohol 13.9%.
