Interesting, again we had a different perception. I did not find this wine watery at all, and I got a very strong floral fragrance that I had a hard time separating from the fruit, but eventually pulled out Meyer lemon.

Meyer Lemon! That's pretty good.

We are playing catch-up again since we celebrated the hubby’s birthday yesterday and I vetoed additional alcohol for the day after 1.5 cocktails and a glass of sparkling wine with the lovely cake he was surprised with. Anyway, we thought this was kind of closed off… slight orchard fruit, no citrus until the taste test (hubs thought grapefruit). We also thought it was a bit watery but scored 1 point higher than you. It went OK with our meal. On to day 15, which I am keeping fingers crossed for a better score.

Ok I love Portugal as have just visited for the first time and drank ALOT of wine. I would've scored higher on this. I also initially smelled pear but also was able to taste almost an orangey peel. It was an easy drink. Didnt taste the alcohol, loved loved the dryness! Thank you again for all of your insight. Just because you like or think you should like something doesnt mean its quality 👍🏻

I was really hoping this box would be a lot more specific about what's in it and the tasting notes... I feel like with how little info they might as well have left them unabled and made it a guessing game. Which does give me an idea for a cool wine game. Ship a box with 24 wines like this with just a number on the bottle and a booklet with the descriptions of the 24 wines out of order. Then you have to guess what the wine is and write it on the day and at the end of the month the right order is in a booklet at the bottom of the box that you can only really get to once you drank the wines. At least that would be exciting. Pretty much all of this box has been faulty, watered down, lacking complexity or just plain bad. It's like the beginner's guide to everything wine shouldn't be.

As you have noticed, this is a box of simple, generic wines from odd ball regions and varieties around the world. I use this box as an opportunity to teach wine appreciation because understanding wine means more than personal preference. It means understanding the qualities that make a wine good and the qualities that make a wine bad. If you can learn these concepts, you can move from consumer to connoisseur. However, I caution you on this because, once you learn what and why a wine is better quality, or lesser quality than others, and how the grape varieties express in wine and the geography of where and why they are made that way... well then, you just might not like your old favorites. You might buy wine at a restaurant or bar and realize how much they are over charging. This knowledge might lead you to drink better wine at home and this may cost you more but your friends will appreciate your skill in wine. That may make you feel like you need to bring good bottles of wine over to their houses when invited to dinner and they'll feel intimidated to do the same. All this can be gained from this simple wine box and it'll teach you about wine and you'll know why it's bad and why it's good and that I think is reason enough.
