[Incanto] Fragolin Fragolino Frizzantino

To know me, is to love— & sometimes hate— me.
And to know I really super fucking dislike dessert wines.

But today, there was an unforeseeable turn of events:
THE NEW TRADER JOE’S HAS WINE TASTING.
AND I ACTUALLY LIKED THE DESSERT WINE.

The label is confusing & Google has offered no answers, but the bottle seems to be called [Incanto] Fragolin Fragolino Frizzantino. It was $5.99 & it has a screwtop with a strawberry on top, mostly because it smells & tastes a lot like strawberries.

When I tasted it out of the tiny plastic thimbles inside the magical Trader Joe’s wine corral, I was blown away. It reminded me of that delicious Lindemans Raspberry Framboise (which I love) so against my better “I hate dessert wines!” judgement, I bought the Frizzantino. I chilled it for an hour & after a couple sips of my glass at home, I was still pleasantly surprised & still enjoying myself. It tastes like melted down candy that has been carbonated, which was fun until I finished my first glass & got a headache & never want to touch that shit again.

Honestly, it reminds me very much of what I am going through right now with my return to Facebook. It was fun for a minute over the weekend, but now that I am three days in I want to kill myself & have returned to my stance that I do not like dessert wines/Facebook.

Tasting Notes: I barely made it through one glass, meaning I can’t get drunk off it, meaning why the hell would I drink it?

Ross Test: UNENJOYABLE. I’m just postulating here but skip the glasses & just go straight to chugging & maybe you won’t want to barf.
