Fruity, fizzy &fab

I have never been a dessert wine person, mainly due to the fact I am not a sweet lover. That all changed when my sponsor wine guide added ice cream and vodka to the fissata. MMMMMM sooo good.

Fissata Red appears to be a Traveling Vineyard favorite and it is no wonder. One of the best pairings was our sweet and fizzy frizzante with pungent blue cheeses and dark chocolate covered walnuts! Found them in the bulk section at Sprouts. The three blends in this wine love the harsh winters and are used quite often in jams and jellies. Baco Noir was once commonly grown in the Burgundy and Loire regions in France and are on about the same latitude as Hammondsport, NY (Fingerlakes Region). Due to regulations this varietal is now restricted from commercial use in France. It is a generally used in a blend. Was hesitant to pair the blue cheeses and the dark chocolate walnuts but I trusted my Sommology tools and WOW!

My favorite wine! This red head is the best wine to drink if your a sweet wine lover. I can easily drink a full bottle before bed. I love to add ice cream to it for a float when it is a hot summer day. I have so many friends that love to keep this bottle stocked in their inventory at all times.

This is one of my favorites, it is the first wine I tasted and it’s not too sweet. I am not a red wine fanatic but this is my go-to!
