  Due to some personal issues that will become apparent in the near future, Lea and I have decided to wind down our wine tasting podcast.  In this last episode of Uncorked, we are tasting an inexpensive but rather tasty wine.  At $5 a bottle, it's a nice dinner wine that works well with any red sauce meal, such as spaghetti, lasagna, etc.  The sweetness of the wine should prevent most people from consuming the entire bottle in one sitting.  It's definitely a sharing wine, one that should be shared over a nice, quiet meal. On another note, Lea and I would like to thank everyone that has been following us from episode 1 of the Uncorked Podcast.  We've enjoyed each episode and hopefully, we've brought some joy, entertainment and information to those who have listened.  Don't worry; we're not done with podcasting.  We're just moving forward with other ideas and we'll see you all very soon!

  We have a winery here in South Georgia which happens to be right down the road from us.  For this episode, Lea purchased Miss Blue from Horse Creek Winery located in Nashville, Georgia.  One of the first things I've noticed is that the local wines for the Southeastern section of the country seem to be sweeter, which is something I personally like.  What did Lea think about it?  Listen in to find out!

  Wine doesn't always have to be made from grapes.  We've had plum wine.  We've had peach wine.  But pomegranate wine?  Nope - not until now, that is.  Come along with us as Lea and I have our first experience with a wine from Armenia made from pomegranates.

  At a little under $11, "VOGA Italia combines the soft alluring flavors of Vento with the structure and breed of Trentino to produce what VOGA feels is the perfect Pinot Grigio".  Honestly, Lea chose the wine for its distinctively shaped bottle, one that has a large screw cap on it that, once removed, also reveals the traditional wine cork.  How does this Pinot Grigio compare to the previous tasting several episodes back?  Listen in to find out!

  Having tried two very good but higher priced Port wines, the couple decided to see how the cheaper variety compares.  Lea had a choice between two inexpensive ports, but the marketing machine won out as she chose the bottle that actually provided a story on the back.  What were there thoughts on an $8.00 bottle of Port?  Listen and learn.

  Before the show started, Lea asked Donovan to choose from "The Spaniard" and "The Rooster", little nicknames she had given to the bottles of wine that she purchased for the show.  Donovan chose "The Spaniard", which she replied "Good choice!".  Donovan jokingly said, "You would have said that if I had chosen the other one" by which Lea replied, "Yep" and smiled. Listen in as the couple taste the Fonseca Bin 27, only the second Porto that they've tried with Sandeman being the first.  How did this Port compare to the Sandeman?  Lea and Donovan were both pleasantly surprised.  Fill your ear holes with the details from the podcast.
