Lucky Penny - Mix of Chardonnay, Viognier, & Pinot Grigio - Australia 2011

Kris - The Male's Perspective -

"See a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck".  This line from grease emanates from Lucky Penney as the title suggests luck is just around the corner.  To be honest, originally I thought this was going to be a cheap wine, as it seemed kind of gimmicky, but I was humbled by the flavour as it hit my mouth.  With hints of apricot, this white blend is very subtle in it's wine personality;  That being said, this subtly does not detract the taste, in fact quite the opposite.  This refined taste was pleasant on the pallet, leaving an impression of pear on the tongue.  This white blend was great, and if you refer to our first post, I rate this wine 5 glasses out of 5 in the sense that if you see it, buy it!  Happy hump day everyone!

Kelsey V.  - The Female Perspective -

For the first time since we started this blog, I was able to pick out a wine that my male counterpart actually enjoyed.  Up until now, the previous wines I had selected were not to Kris' liking. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this! :) As for the wine itself, I found it to be bursting with fruity flavours, something which I was quite smitten by.  Notes of pear splashed my taste buds at first, leaving me surprised when the addition of honey joined the mix. Being one of my favorites so fa,r I rate this wine 5/5 wine glasses!

Kelsey really likes this bottle, but I think it's not bad, not great either.  As for allure, it caught Kelsey's eye with its bold words and design.  The colour scheme could be a little more vibrant, which would in turn, up the allure factor as well.  In terms of creativity, the location of the bold words and the difference of colours between them allocates a point.  Receiving a final score of 2/3 for it's lack of vibrant colours.  Happy drinking!
