Frisky ZebraS - Sauvignon Blanc - 2.5/5 wine glasses

                                     Frisky ZebraS - Sauvignon Blanc - South Africa

Kelsey V. - The Female Perspective - 

With a name like Frisky ZebraS I knew this wine had to be one of especial interest  Light in flavour with key notes which hinted toward exotic fruits particularly ones with citric elements. I really enjoyed the soft aftertaste of this sauvignon blanc as it did not overwhelm me with the distinct flavour of alcohol.  With a heart on the cap, this wine certainly left me feeling warm on the inside. I give this bottle a 3 wine glasses out of 5.

Kris - The Male Perspective -

With a silver medal in the Critique's Challenge International Wine Competition. I was expecting to be blown away, or at least amazed by the contents of this bottle.  Although this sauvginon blanc wasn't horrible in any sense of the word, I found nothing particularly satisfying about it.  It left me wondering what I was tasting, as I continually sipped on my glass, trying to enhance the very minute hints of what I perceived to be citrus, perhaps lime.  According to my pallet, this wine is "meh".  Not special, but not lousy, this wine was hard to decipher.  I would only recommend it if your female counterpart was keen on trying it, other than that, this wine is not worth your buck in my opinion. I would score this wine a 2/5 as I did not hate it, but there was nothing I loved about it, despite the heart on the cap.


Appearance wise Kris and I would rate this bottle 1.5/3 for the following reasons:

- the allure was present, with a zebra on a bottle, how could one not be enticed?

- the colour scheme was lacking due to its use of limited colours

- finally the creativity also lacked, with a name like frisky zebras, we expected a little more sensuality.  However, we'll hand out a .5 due to the fact that there's a zebra on the bottle.

Happy drinking! 

The Beach House- Sauvignon Blanc - 3.5/5 Wine

The Beach House - Sauvignon Blanc 

Kelsey V. - the female perspective-

This wine literally tastes like the beach. There is a strong note of lemongrass, which brought forth a distinct unique flavor that I quite enjoyed. The Beach House is sweet with a subtle aftertaste that makes it easy to drink. I would recommend pairing it with any sea food especially crab or oysters. I give this wine 4 glasses out of 5!

Kris - The male's perspective -

This is going to sound strange but when I swirled and sniffed this wine, I was overwhelmed by the scent of burritos. Yes, burritos. Unfortunately, The Beach House didn't taste anything like burritos, however the engagingly sweet taste had me beggin' for more!  The aftertaste is a little strong on the tart side, but it doesn't take away from the overall presentation, giving this bottle a score of 3 wine glasses out of 5! Cheers (note to self: get some burritos)

Considering the appearance, Kelsey V and I scored this bottle a 1.5/3 for it's complimentary use of colours. The beach-y colour scheme fits well with the taste and presentation of the bottle, if only lacking a little creativity. Mmmm burritos.
