2008 Columbia Concord

Ryan and Megan were over for the weekend as well. Ryan brought a big bottle of wine with him. They have a friend who works at a vineyard over in the Tri-cities. She bottled her own sampling of a Concord wine. I'd never heard of concord (outside of your basic grape juice!) so I was more than willing to try.

My Dad and I poured ourselves 2 glasses, and immediately responded with, a "wow" when we swirled and smelled it. It was super duper sweet smelling. No surprise, it was just as sweet. I couldn't even drink it. It was like dumping a cup of sugar into a bottle of Boones Farm. I guess that makes sense, as concord grapes are used to make Welches grape juice, jellies and jams. But still...WOW. So sweet. I think I may have loved it in my early days of drinking, back when I could drink Boones Farm and wine coolers. But that stuff is just so sweet, it makes my stomach turn now. Dad and I passed our glasses on to Megan and Kelly. They loved it. Between Megan, Ryan and Kelly...i think they finished that giant bottle of wine. Phew!
