Tasting: Glenora Wine Cellars Bobsled Red


Name: Glenora Bobsled Red
Variety: Red blend
Region: New York State Finger Lakes
Country: USA
Year: Unknown
Price: $7.99

Winery Review: “Bobsled Red is a unique blend of high quality grape varieties that has blackberry jam aromas. This pleasant, semi-dry finish makes this wine enjoyable on its own or with pasta, pizza, or Buffalo style wings. This wine may be served slightly chilled, or at cool room temperature.”

Personal Review: This wine had been chilled before tasting it, so at first it had little to no smell to it. After swirling and warming up the glass for a few minutes, you could start to smell a light aroma. This wine smelled like bubblegum tape that I used to beg my parents for whenever we went to the store! I was already hesitant to taste this wine after it had that smell to it, but I went for it anyway. Mistake!!! This wine was terrible! It was super sweet and everyone in my family agreed that it was awful! No one even bothered finishing their glass of this wine because it was not worth it! I did try to make it seem better by trying it with cheese, but that may have made it taste worse! Overall, we all agreed that this was not the wine for us!
