Gönc Winery "Canvas" Pet-Nat Pinot Blanc, NV

Now this is a beautiful bottle. Looks like a fancy huge beer, which is right up my ethos alley. Really nice stuff, right down to the beer-bottle-cap. It is a fizzy drink, so although the top didn't shoot off, it bubbled like a prototypical champagne. Good vibes but so wasteful, thought I. The smell was really beer-y and appealing. The taste was nice too, sweet and not too tart or acidic, but not simple either. Really, it was almost beer like in taste, too. Had that little sourness to it. It definitely got more acidic on Day 2, but Day 1 was pretty great. Would definitely get again -- too made they made a limited number of these!


Overall
Cost: 4/10 [24$]
Taste: 7/10

2020 Grape Abduction White

This seems like it'd be very cool -- I mean, look at the label art! Very cute and not in-your-face with text. Plus a 1 liter bottle, and a screw top. The downside is, they didn't answer my FB message about allergens (maybe because they're Slovenian and I wrote it in English? IDK). But the wine was solid anyway. It definitely has that sweet white pineapple juice scent, but the taste was a little drier/more sour/less sweet than similarly profile whites. I think I like it. There was still pineapple/melon flavor, and it made my nose tingle a bit. Best warm, but doesn't change or degrade too much in the fridge - still solid days 2/3.

Cost: 5/10
