King Estate 2000 Pinot Noir

Warning! This bottle contains a sweet aroma and smooth taste. There is nothing better than waking up on a Saturday from a long week of work and sipping on this as your first beverage. Even though I am starving, I do not need food to enjoy this wine. Fit for a king.

Alaura 2002 Chianti

Tastes like watery stinky feet.

Country of Origin: Italy

Alaura 2002 Chianti

Looks can be deceiving. A wonderful marriage story coupled with a horse mural equals boring wine. Funky smell from this wine could present an early divorce for this winery.
