The aesthetic was an evening dinner in our Airbnb with cheapest store bought wine. The three wines we tried were:
1. Veuve Du Vernay, Sparkling Wine Brut
2. Puente Real, Albarino, White wine
3. Hacienda Los Andres Rose
Never having to try these kind of wines before in the scope of the wine class, it was an interesting combination. The order they were written in is exactly the order I would rank them in from highest to lowest. Now to the food, the three food items we decided to purchase were:just because bread and butter tasted very good on it's own and the good flavor over-powered the bad flavor of wine. Lastly with the guava roll it tasted like the guava roll disintegrated in my mouth into many different flavors. Not the most pleasant of feels, but it did open up the guava flavors to some level. Second wine - the Albarino, without food tasted like straight olive oil with a hint of grape. I have not heard of this wine before coming to Puerto Rico, but there it seemed like it was all over the place. In 4 days after this dinner, my boyfriend and I tried a good bottle of the same wine, and it had an amazing taste. Watermelon and Alabarino was an all around awful combination, and I think that is was turned my stomach upside down. Albarino lost the hint of wine it had, and became more oily and bitter. With the
bread it tasted good, oil + butter = good. I didn't hate this wine overall with Guava roll either, it was a little too sweet for the wine, but not bad per say. The last one to be opened was the sparking. I think it was the driest of wines probably the most expansive, however no one item was in the double digits on that table. I tried it with the watermelon, and by all means it again was not good. It was definitely too dry for this wine. However, bread and garlic spread went together very well with the sparkling, truly complimenting each other. Lastly the guava roll, and as it seems I was not in any state of good well being to try continue drinking, I only had a bite of the roll, and again, it did seem a little too sweet compared to the sparkling, but overall not terrible.
