Tasting - Childress Red Table Wine

Name: Childress Vineyards Three Red Table Wine 

Variety: Red Table Wine

Region: North Carolina 

Country: USA

Year: NV 

Price: $19 (retail) 

Winery review: Three Red Table Wine is an easy-drinking smooth wine, bursting with cherry flavors and is as memorable as its namesake, the legendary No. 3 car owned by Richard Childress.  Three is an excellent choice with spicy fare, or on its own. 


My review: This red table wine was way to sweet and not acidic enough for me.  In contrast with a Merlot and Malbec that I had earlier in the evening, it almost made me want to vomit.  It was overwhelmingly cherry-flavored; if one is used to drinking red table wine, it's fine, but I wouldn't pair it with acidic wines at all.  

I had this wine by itself without food.
