Wine Tasting: 2022 Menage a Trois Exotic White Blend

This wine tasting features the 2022 Menage a Trois Exotic White Blend.  This wine is from California and is a blend of Chardonnay, Moscato, and Chenin Blanc.  This bottle was bought from Kroger for $9.99 for a group wine tasting.

As a lover of dry wine, I was immediately put off by Moscato being in this blend because Wine Folly describes this wine as very sweet with low tannin and hints of meyer lemon and orange blossom on page 138.  Page 96 and 98 ascribe notes of pineapple, butter, and light acidity to Chardonnay and high sweetness, pear and honey to Chenin Blanc, respectively. 

The Vivino community reviews this white blend as medium sweet and soft.  They taste tropical flavors of mango and pineapple, as well as pear, honey, citrus and grapefruit.  From my own experience, I smelled honey, sugar, pear and an orangey citrus.  I then tasted pineapple, orange, and felt light acidity and light tannins. 

This wine was very sweet for my own taste, but the tropical fruit flavors were refreshing. I would recommend it to someone who was looking for a sweet white wine to drink on its own.
