Xavier says this is not an angel.
“But how do you know,” I ask, “have you met many angels?”
“Does an angel send you selfies?”
He still says it’s not an angel.
I have to say that there is absolutely nothing about this wine from Cupcake Vineyards that resembles angel food cake.
Not even a little bit.
I would also like to point out that the wine is called Angel Food and not Angel Food Cake. Ergo, you will not see me getting all butt hurt because it doesn’t taste like cake.
You know, just sayin’.
To the contrary, the first sips taste very strongly of granny smith apple. If the label read “Apple Wine”, I wouldn’t have even questioned it.
One of these days I’ll learn to open the wine prior to when I want to drink it.
The reason I say that is because after half an hour or so, somewhere in the 2nd glass, the flavor did mellow out considerably and the sweeter, softer qualities began to come through.
The label describes it as a “creamy mouthful”, which is an unfortunate choice of words, but I concur that after it’s been open for awhile, Angel Food, is indeed creamy and slightly sweet.
Xavier particularly likes white wines that have these types of qualities and when I asked him what he thought it tasted like he said, “It tastes like the past tense. We need to get another bottle.”
