USA Today with the help of wine connoisseurs taste test some of Donald Trump's beverage from Trump's Winery. And the result is surprising. They found the wines quite nice. However, a playful and smiling President Obama said, Trump's wine is overpriced and should only carry a $5 price tag.
According to Forbes, success in the wine industry is a sure economic indicator. Wine industry's role in economic growth is undeniable in any first world country. That's why it is not surprising that a business tycoon such as Donald Trump has invested in the wine industry as well.
New York-based wine consultant Lisa Carley was tasked to judge Trump's wine and she was quoted saying "As a whole, they're perfectly fine," after trying out different wines from Trumps Winery. "They're lovely examples of wine from Virginia".
USA today said , "We imagined our tasting notes being full of cheeky digs at the brassy mogul now leading the pack in the GOP presidential race." But the Virginia-produced wine looks like they stood up to the challenge. Wine experts were quoted using the words brash, blustery or bombastic to describe the wines they have sampled. This shows that their opinions weren't driven by the influential winery brand owner and GOP Presidential candidate. Sampled wines were 2009 Sparkling Blanc de Blanc worth $24, 2014 Chardonnay worth $16, 2014 Meritage worth $20 and a 2013 New World Reserve worth $30. Lisa added, "As a whole, they're perfectly fine," she said. "They're lovely examples of wine from Virginia,".
President Barack Obama, however, is not at all impressed. Daily News quoted a playful and laughing President Obama, saying "Has anybody bought that wine? I want to know what that wine tastes like...I mean, come on. You know that's like some $5 wine. They slap a label on it. They charge you $50 and say it's the greatest wine ever."
With Obama's remark, Republicans and Democrats have a lot more topics to debate upon. But for food and wine lovers, it doesn't matter who owns it, as long it tastes good. Also, respect to Virginia wine makers who are the people behind the wine production. The trump winery offers a number of beverages to choose from.
For people who want to find out the truth about the taste of Trump's wine, they will have to buy and see for themselves.
