Wine Skeptic

Chateau de Genaiserie

After the huge meal at Alinea, it was fun to open a dessert wine at home. A category that I imagine most people would be completely puzzled by. I think liqueur or brandy may have the edge in most minds as a hedonistic after meal drink. Still, I have found more excitement in these wines, which of course have sweetness, but often not as much ’sugariness’ as any aperitif. Of course, it lacks the heavy alcohol that can be a bit more palette ruiner. This wine has a nice match in the Savennieres we had earlier, a good flinty, peachy, carmel flavor. A bit sweeter than some of my other experiences, but super enjoyable.
