• Review: (www.elmaliquor.com) Today I am tasting wines from Victorianbourg Wine Estate in Niagara County, New York. These are all slightly flavored wines but they are made with New York State grapes to start with. The first one up that I’m going to be tasting is the Pechette which is a Chardonnay based wine, flavored with real white peaches grown in New York State. It smells like peaches right away, that very ripe peach aroma which is nice. You can faintly smell the Chardonnay underneath and it has a slight frizzante to it. Like a little very light effervescence, which adds to the flavors. You can sense that there’s a flavor of Chardonnay underneath which makes it not just a sugary, too sweet of a wine. It adds some complexity to it as well. This is very nice and very refreshing chilled for the summer time.
• Your review: Just the slightest tinge of yellow color. Peach aroma prominent, with a sort of light grape juice flavor coming through. Light and refreshing in the mouth. Did not detect any effervescence.
• Not paired with food, it was a tasting at the Broadway Market in Buffalo.
