Sippin' on a Budget - 19 Crimes 2020 Red Blend Wine

Welcome to episode 1!

All posts and reviews of wine are broken down in plain language for any new wine drinker to understand. This wine community is open to anyone over 21 years old, as well as anybody who wants to explore the world of wine.

All reviews and opinions are solely my own and do not reflect any other organization.

I wholeheartedly believe we can break this notion that wine is for only "certain people".

You know the people I'm talking about; "wine snobs", "bougie", "high class"- the list can go on and on. We are not here to label or make fun of others; but rather, to open the unique world of wine to everyone.

I believe Wine Culture can be for anyone who likes wine - your background, lifestyle, and how much you make does not matter here- all are welcome!

You can be Bougie on a Budget! Hence, the name: Sippin' on a Budget was born.

I have always been a very outgoing person, intrigued by other people's experiences and enthusiastic to learn and try new things. I like to have fun all the time and I love to include everyone in my experiences.

So let's get started! Come sip with me!

Today we will discuss a Red Blend Wine.

19 Crime's Red Blend Wine, Year 2020

In this post you will learn more about:

• This wine's Style, Varietal, and Type

• This wine's Profile

• Where to buy this wine so you can try it too.

This wine is a delicious, fruit-forward wine and it is jammy!! Oddly, it is dry and juicy at the same time. This is a wine best to drink with friends and family while singing karaoke in your house.

The Style is a dry medium-bodied wine.

The Varietal consists of 86% Syrah, 7% Merlot, and the remainder is 7% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Type is a red blend wine.

This wine has a 14% alcohol content- so sip careful. Always drink responsibly.

Keep in Mind: When you are finding the wine's profile, you are observing the wine by its look, smell, and color. Before you taste the wine, you should smell it and observe what it is you smell. It's good practice to get a second and sometimes a third smell before your first taste. You'll often see sommeliers swirling their glasses around, and there's not any secret to it. By swirling the wine, simply opens up the wine's fragrance or bouquet. The oxygen opens up the wine, allowing you to get a better understanding of what it is you're smelling and tasting.

Okay, so check it out.

When I drink this wine, here's what I get based on my history of smelling things in my environment. Keep in mind, that I grew up poor middle class, which influences how I see the world and that includes smell.

So with this wine, I get the following.

I smell Big Jam- when you take that wonder bread and spread that PB&J up in there- type of big jam. The second profile I smell is similar to Easter bunny hollow chocolate that my mom bought for me at the dollar store. It is both sugary and more on the milky side of milk chocolate.

This wine is delicious and affordable.

You can purchase this wine at your local convenience store. I purchased this bottle at Rite-Aid, but have seen it also at Save Mart, WinCo, and Food Maxx. This bottle ranges from $7 to $14 which makes it a great budget-friendly wine. This qualifies under my Sippin' on a Budget Category and makes a great wine to share with others.

I hope you do try this wine!
