Today was a very special day for me in my life of experiencing new and different wines. I was very privileged and honored to have received a bottle of Black currant wine from wadewade this past week.
It came without benifit of an appropriate label. And for this wine it would take something very special indeed to dress the bottle appropriately for its contents. In all honesty people, I have never experienced a wine with so much complexity in aroma as well as taste as this one was. From the moment of uncorking and pouring the first glass I began trying to ascertain just what a Black currant was. I am no closer as this was my first experience with the fruit but I assure it it will not be my last. As I swirled the wine in the glass, there came to me aromas of fig, peach, a hint of chocolate and spices. The complexity carried over into the tasting as I swished the first drink around in my mouth trying to determine if it was going to be appropriate for the meal of seafood I had prepared.It is my determination that this wine would be appropriate with just about anything you wanted to pair it with. It is truly awesome. The only fault I had with it was that it was just a little sweeter than what I really like but not so sweet as to distract from the complexity of this truly awesome wine. For thje meal I had grilled bacon wrapped shrimp which had been marinated in olive oil and garlic with just a pinch of rosemary, Steamed some Alaskan King Crab legs and oven baked some Halibut fillets in a mixture of garlic, butter, lemon pepper and a bit of Cajun seasoning. For dessert it was Blueberry Pie that I baked this morning, using the pulp from 3 lbs. of Blueberries that I had juiced this morning with my Steamer/Juicer.
The Black Currant wine I believe enhanced the flavors of every item. I'm gonna have to just come right out and say that I believe This is the best damn wine I have ever had....bar none and has definately beaten out Blackberry and Muscadine as my wine of choice for the future. THANK YOU WADEWADE !!!!

It was good enough that I just ordered enough from George to make me 10 gallons of it.
