Mambo with Bernie

I know that sounds like a dance but Bernie from Premier Cru brought in two bottles today. Hey Mambo Swanky White and Hey Mambo Sultry Red. Both are drinkable wines, the white being a blend of sauv blanc, viognier, muscat canelli and chenin blanc. very aromatic and not over the top sweet, but definitely sweet.

Mambo red is a blend of different red italian grapes from alicante bouchette which is actually french i think to barbera, zinfandel, syrah, petite sirah. i liked the red better but it was interesting in that I was expecting a fruit forward wine and it was showing more tannin that I had assumed it would. A little green on the nose too.
