Conundrum White Wine Blend


Ah, the holidays. In a "normal" home it brings out both the best and the worst in us. Add a bankruptcy, publicized money troubles, a foreclosure and a lawsuit from your ex-partner and watch out! Joe and Melissa Gorga host the family Christmas dinner and KimG's +1 is none other than Monica Ciccione. <Monica's husband is suing ex-partner, Joe Giudice for forging his signature on a document.> Melisa has no interest in having a possible "mosh pit" on her hands and will be "devastated if anything happens". KimG on the other hand--she's always looking for drama. Joe seems to owe everyone because at the party a man asks for "the money you owe me. The $1,000." At some point [we will see Sunday] Joe declares "...last time I was nice, this time I'm not going to be so nice." *Dun Dun Duuuuuuhhh!*

Now on to the SIP of SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

This wine is called "Conundrum" because they won't tell you their secret blend of grapes. They will only tell you that its a blend including one or more of these grapes: Muscat, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.

Conundrum sparkles sheer hues of apricot flesh and canary yellow in your glass. The aroma is almost all floral, including star gazer lillies, freesia and honeysuckle. This particular white wine blend has a straight forward complexity with a top note taste of sage honey, clover honey and Indonesian cinnamon. The middle note layers on with fruit flavors like Asian pear, white peach and casaba melon. Sage honey comes back to your palate on the bottom note of Conundrum with a medium bodied finish of lemon thyme, pink lady apple and cilantro.  
Tune into Bravo this Sunday at 10p/EST and SIP your Conundrum, WATCH Real Housewives of New Jersey and TWEET about it! Hashtag #RHONJ #SipWatchTweet
