My Review of flipflop Wines!
What is it exactly?
From the website . . .
"...With flipflop wines, we have embraced the movement toward individualistic expression, instead of manufacturing wines into some cookie-cutter style that’s all the rage. Our goal is to craft expressive, well-balanced wines that evoke just what the grapes inside intended, without being over-wrought or over-explained, and that can be enjoyed at any occasion..."
Review…
I’ve recently had the pleasure of reviewing flipflop Wine! Please read on . . .
Packaging & Presentation
For review, I received a bottle of Pinot Grigio (Vintage 2009) and a bottle of Riesling (Vintage 2010). I also received a few neat fact sheets about the wines!
Ease of Use
First, I decided to try flipflop’s Riesling! The wine was really sweet, and since it is my favorite, it will certainly be gone this week, as I drink it with dinner!
Here is some information about the Riesling:
- Tastes Like: Medium-bodied, Riesling with peach, apricot and melon which leads to a satisfying, smooth finish.
- Full Of: Tropical notes and sweet aromas.
- Serve: Chilled
- SRP: $7.00
Next, I had a glass of the Pinot Grigio. I have never tried Pinot Grigio until today, and I was delighted to take my first sip! It’s a sweet taste, but it is a bit more dry than the Riesling. I really enjoyed the Pinot Grigio, as did my husband!
Here is some information about the Pinot Grigio:
- Tastes Like: Light-bodied, refreshing Pinot Grigio with tropical citrus, ripe pear and a zesty clean finish.
- Full Of: Balanced crisp acidity
- Serve: Chilled
- SRP: $7.00
Meet the Vintner, flipflop wines:
David Georges lives up to the motto of “recycle, reduce, reuse”. David discovered that he really wanted to study viticulture as he worked at an organic vegetable farm.
