Today, the winegurl and I decided to celebrate MLK day by going to a tasting at Geissinger Winery. They’ve got two tasting rooms, one in Santa Barbara and one in Fillmore. We had been to the SB location before, so we decided to check out the Fillmore location. For 6 bucks, you get to taste 20 wines (Don’t worry, the pours are light.) They specialize in dessert wines (They’ve got six of them.) Make sure you try the “Forgiveness Reserve,” a light sweet blush.
Pros : At 6 bucks a tasting for 20 wines, it’s a great deal.
Cons : Mostly unremarkable wines, except for the dessert wines; Their tasting notes read like a bad romance novel and will have you worried Fabio is going to show up. (ex : “She is sweet. This is her night. Watch your steps as you dance with her. She leads and you follow….”)
Dudes : If your lady has a sweet tooth, pick up a bottle of Forgiveness Reserve, and impress her with a few facts about dessert wines here…
