A Wine for All Palates

One of the Wine Girls embarked on a camping trip last month. Along the way to and from Wisconsin, she loyally stopped at wineries and returned with multiple bottles of North Midwestern wine delights.

An intriguing wine was Naughty Girl from Von Stieglitz Winery. Sporting a provocative ruby red color, the nose has a hint of cherry with a misleading sweetness. A sip of Naughty Girl releases sassy berry tones which flow over your tongue and  fill your mouth with a seductive, semi-dry taste. But then she casually leaves you with a dry lingering finish. This red wine is made from 80% grape wine and 20% raspberry wine with a grape brandy added.After a few tastes, it is clear she makes a powerful impact on those who partake of her multidimensional richness.
