Gilgal Wine Review

Okay, okay, so while I do cop to admitting that I will review anything pertaining to dental hygeine, there is definitely another thing that I will ALWAYS say yes to.

And that?

Is wine.  (Actually, who are we kidding?  Any sort of alcohol, thankyouverymuch.)

So when contacted to see if I would like to try a new wine sourced from "an amazing place with a rich history and a beautiful story", I said absolutely.  Who am I to turn down a chance to try one of the first bottles available in the U.S.? 

Enter Gilgal. (Don't you love this gorgeous website?!)

"Gilgal Refaim, a celebrated site located near the Sea of Galilee in the Golan Heights region of Israel, has long been shrouded in mystery and wonder.  Defined by a ring of over 40,000 rocks placed in concentric circles by the ancients, Gilgal Refaim has been an inspiration to many - and today inspires a new wine release - Gilgal."

Both my brother's girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the red.  It was full-bodied, with hints of blackberry and cherry fruit, and certainly not overwhelmingly oaky.  You know how you walk into a liquor or wine store and become completely overwhelmed? (No? Just me?) Well, because the name and the bottle are so unique, and because it had a taste that was easy to drink, I will definitely be buying more Gilgal wine. 
And now, I can't wait to try the Chardonnay, which is described as "exhibiting pineapple, melon, green apple and pear fruit notes".  See, it's fruitfully healthy!
Cheers!
I was sent 2 bottles of Gilgal wine to facilitate this review.  As always, opinions expressed herein are my very own.
