Sans Rose of Carignan
The idea of wine in a can has been off-putting to me for a long time. I am a converted wine snob in that I don't snub my nose at too many things. But canned wine was one thing I couldn't get past. The reason was I hadn't tried anything that was in a can and good. I needed one to be tasty for me to agree to authorize canned wine in my list of acceptable things! I had received the can to the left as a sample for me to try. I accepted it, rolled my eyes, and put it in my refrigerator to be forgotten. A few months later, I was looking for a beer and pulled out this can of wine. Again with the eye roll. But, I was thirsty and wanted something cold, so I opened it. Pshhht! Just like a bottle, I sniffed the can's opening and immediately knew I was about to eat crow for bad mouthing canned wine. I poured it into my glass and did the swirl, sniff, sip routine. Damn it! It was good. Really good. Carignan isn't really a household name in the grape kingdom, so you may not know what it tastes like. Originating in Spain, Carignan has been used for making bulk wine for a long time in France and California. However, some producers recognized Carignan as a grape that could stand alone and make tasty wines all by itself. In this wine, if you examine it like a wine nerd (like me) you'll taste plums, twangy persimmons, mild apples, and a zing of blood orange on the finish. If you can't taste those things and only taste incredible good wine, then you're a normal human. You might think it's a bit pricy since one 12 ounce can can be 10 bucks. But if you think about it being half a bottle of wine, it makes it easier to accept. This is also a diverse wine because you can pair it with any food including snacks you would take on a picnic. Cans work perfectly on a picnic, in a boat, or sitting in the back yard with friends. Now you can be like me and not sub your nose at wine in a can anymore. Try Sans!
