encyclopedia wines from coppola

an introduction from coppola for a new series of wines from around the world.
the look is cute but not practical for people with wine racks as the bottles are shaped much like science lab beekers with a little color around them. the idea of wines from their indigenous regions is not new nor are the wines particularly good.. but they are appealling to the young crowd that would like to try new wines and be attracted by the hip bottles

Pinot Grigio from Italy...light in color and very little of the tang or zest that is typical of P.G.

Riesling from Germany...no body, no flavor not even sweet for the riesling drinker who would buy this bottle

Tempranillo from Spain...smells of all that is green in a wine..overcropped or young vines...they definitely do not showcase the wine that you can buy in this store for a lot less and is a lot better

Cabernet from France...the best of the bunch and only because it actually tastes of Cab but just...nothing new here and again at this cost which will be around $13 you can find a lot better
