About ten years ago when I was in South Dakota, I asked my server for a white wine recommendation and was given a bottle of Vouvray, a part of the Loire Valley that I have never forgotten since that moment. Now as I felt then, the Chenin blanc grape is one of my favorites. It’s the reason I constantly return to wine from this part of France. This bottle of Les Aumones lived up to my expectations. It is a great, inexpensive choice from Vouvray. It tastes of apple pie and honey, has a refreshing but not overbearing acidity, and is easy - perhaps too easy to drink. It’s a sweet wine but in harmony with its other notes. This 2018 bottle from Domaine Le Capitaine is one I highly recommend (and affordable). — 5 years ago
Bought in Rapid City, South Dakota. From Firehouse Winery. This wine is really good. Went there and this was my favorite of all the wines. Black cherry blend with a hint of chocolate. — 6 years ago

Mom and I picked this up in SD during our road trip and I’m enjoying it in memory of that trip!! Generally sweet, but with a tart kick at the end #prairieberry #roadtripwine #coronavino — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, herbs and cocoa on the nose. Incredible tastes of dark cherries, chocolate, baking spices, and graphite on the palate. A silky smooth mouth feel despite being a young wine. Tannins are rich and sleek and the acidity is perfectly integrated. A really good wine from an up and coming winery in Napa. — 8 years ago
Made with Catawba grapes, which give it a sweet berry flavor that balances with some nice acidity #roadtripwine #openedayearlater #coronavino — 5 years ago

Dry with just a hint of sweet but deliciously so, not too much. Feels lighter than most of my reds I like. Great pick Dakota! — 8 years ago
A red blend that is sweeter and fruity with a deep, beautiful red color. Probably drinking the whole bottle. — 9 years ago
