Review
Sweet, lovely taste. You can tell it has a higher alcohol content, but this somehow enhances the taste.
Reviews stated that it was easy to drink, and very good value, which I agree with.

Definitely provides a faint “buzz” faster than usual. Bottle says to drink chilled; I’ve been told otherwise,
so we did it room temperature. Maybe I’ll try it chilled for a later post.
The book notes that Ruby Porto is best young, which maybe explains why
the bottle didn’t have a vintage on it. Did not have a desert glass to drink it in.
Hello, and welcome to my wine blog! I will be sharing my experience here as I journey through the world of wine.
Brief Introduction: My name is James, and I'm a senior here at Virginia Tech double majoring in Computer Science and Discrete Math. I enjoy coding, simulator racing, and thinking about the not so far future where I'll be free from school.
My first experience with wine was trying to get drunk with some friends. I at least had the forethought to have some cheese with it, although I probably got the pairing wrong. We took a bottle from my parent's pantry, and went add it, ultimately only finishing about half. We threw the remainder in the woods beside my house, either to spoil or be sipped up by the dozen or so feral cats that my neighbor feeds. The following morning I got in huge trouble - my Mom was upset about us trying to get drunk, while my Dad's only complaint was that we unknowing took a hundred dollar bottle. Oops...
My subsequent experiences with wine were also with the intention of getting drunk, until this past year or so. I've now started to drink it for enjoyment, although I wouldn't really pay attention to what I was drinking, just whether or not I liked it. As of now, I just know that I prefer reds over whites, and really enjoyed some Tawny Porto I got to try over this past Christmas. From this course, I hope to learn enough about wine to enjoy, and understand, the experience of drinking it more - and maybe learn enough to not make a fool of myself in front of a future boss or something at a restaurant.
Oh, a photo of me - here's a picture of me in front of a model train, for some reason. I mean, I guess it's a pretty cool train.
