WTN: Underwood Rose Oregon NV...(short/boring)

1. Underwood Rose Wine Oregon (12%; www.UnionWineCompany.com) C&C by UnionWineCompany/Modesto NV (Canned in 2016): Pale pink/cranberry/copper color; light cranberry/watermelon lightly spicy/strawberry pleasant enough nose; rather tart/lean/tangy light watermelon/cranberry/juicy/spicy pleasant flavor w/ little tannins; med.long tart/tangy/lean bit juicy/strawberry/cranberry flavor w/ no tannins; seems to be a PinotNoir saignee; a pleasant enough rose on the simple/light side; pretty overpriced at $7.00/375 ml can

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is called "taking one for the team". Last week, I tried the ZipZ Chard, "bttld" in a Reidel plexiglass stem. It was duller than even 2$Chuck.
When I saw these cans of rose sitting on the shelf at CasaSena, I knew I had to take one for the team, so I bought one. I scolded the guy at the checkout register that they should be storing these can in the wine rack lying on their sides to keep the pull-tab moist and if it was bad from the poor storage, I was bringing it back. He assured me that would be OK; that he was confident that upright storage was OK.
I ripped open the pull-tab & poured it into my now-clean Reidel plexiglass wine glass...all with (very) low expectations. I was pleasantly suprised...the wine, though nothing to write home about, was pleasantly decent. But I won't be buying anymore until they start to store these cans correctly.
Underwood also makes wine under the KingsRidge and Alchemist label. Not tried any of these yet.

Canned wine is finally here, eh. I read an article awhile back claiming it would be the next big thing in premium wine, which is kind of interesting in that beer in cans isn't successful at the premium/craft level.

Actually, Jenise, there is a perceptible trend among craft and regional Brewers to go back to cans. Lack of light retards spoilage and cans are far lighter than glass; the can can actually carry less carbon footprint.

(I still don't think wine in cans will get popular.)

Didn't realize that about beer in cans, I just discussed this topic (canned wine) last week with a friend who manages a Total Wine, and it was she who said that canned craft beer is a tough sell with consumers.

I don't know. At the winter gathering of my friends, the beer aficionado was very excited to nab a 4-pack -- cans -- of Heady Topper.

It was good beer, too.
