2022 Tucana Rosé

Not me drinking a wine!!! I know, it's mad. Especially because this has been sitting in my 100 degree house for 2 years. At first blush, it tastes like it, too. Fizzy, very acidic, but a sweet start and a very burning-my-insides finish. Do I even like wine, I asked myself? Am I now allergic to wine!? And other questions. But I had simply forgot the ancient wine wisdom: stick with it and it will improve. So it was. I'm trying to be extremely moderate for many reasons, so I only had a glass per day, but each day was a bit better. No more burning, only yearning. Generally sweet strawberry/peach/cantaloupe notes. Pretty orangey pink color; screw top; South African blend. I don't think I'll be willing to risk any more wines once I'm employed again, but it was nice to experience a little nostalgia for a while. That sounds more emo than I meant it. Wine is good, and it might have increased my histamine (I mean, scientifically speaking, it certainly did) but I didn't notice any brain effects, at least not in the short term. 

Overall
Cost: 7/10 [4.50, but it's sold out]
Taste: 6/10
