While we were down in Central Indiana last weekend we picked up another Easley Winery red to give the winery another chance: Sweet Barrel Red.
I should know better by now not to even try wine bottles that boast “fruity” flavor. Fruity indeed. Fruit packed in corn syrup sweet.
Add some bubbly and you have a perfect dessert cocktail. Otherwise, too sweet for this farmgirl.
I think I’ll need to hit a tasting room before I buy another bottle from this winery. Too bad we won’t be around Indianapolis this week for the Indy International Wine Competition.
The 3,200 (that’s a lot of tasting) wines being judged are from around the world and according to the release, visitors will have a chance to taste some of the medal winners. I bet I could find a nice fruity Riesling that is more dry than sweet, but with a hint of peach barrel. My favorite.
