FlipFlop Wines Passionate White Sangria Recipe
With the season moving closer to spring, I've started thinking about spring time gathering. Hanging out with my friends usually means enjoying a great meal followed with glasses of wine. I was searching for new wines to include in my springtime gathering, when I received an offer to review Flip Flop Wines. Talk about good timing.
Please Note: I received a product sample for review purposes. Views expressed are always 100% my own.
MY REVIEW:
I received a bottle of Pinot Grigio which had a light and refreshing taste of tropical citrus and pear. It went down smooth and ended with a clean finish. There was no dryness or after taste. I enjoyed it a lot and think it would be perfect for the afternoon lunch of early dinner. It's recommended to go with bruschetta, spaghetti carbonara or eggplant parmesan
I also received a bottle of Pinot Noir which had a heavy first taste. It took a 2nd glass for me to find the cherry and sweet spice flavor. It's ends with a velvety finish a bit of a after taste that not unpleasant. It's suppose to have hints of vanilla but I didnt taste it. i think this wine is better for evening after dinner enjoyment. It's recommended to go with grilled mahi mahi, baconwrapped shrimp or chocolate chip cookies. Of course I tried with a chocolate chip cookie Very nice!
The last bottle is a Riesling, which I'm saving for when my friends come over. After tasting the first 2 FlipFlop wines I'm confident I'll also enjoy this bottle.
