"To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge."
A glass of my finest sincere wishes to everyone this fine day! Sip it, don't gulp it down in a single swallow.
This Polish dessert wine is not one of these "conventional liqueurs". Instead, it's more wine-like, elegantly sweet and the epitome of smooth. Granted, it's not something which you would want to drink too much of during a seating. You'd probably get a sugar rush and gain belly real estate as you sit drinking the stuff!

Tasting notes as follows.
Chucky's Notes: "Yummy! If you love the taste of maraschino cherry or the inside of a chocolate covered cherry, this is the wine for you! Doesn't taste like alcohol as I had expected. Absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try the peach, honey, and raspberry flavors!"
Tiffany's Notes: "Excellent dessert wine! Normally not my style of wine, but this is super smooth! It's very warming going down my system to my belly, yet so smooth! Just had a bite of Polish nut roll, which brought out even more sweetness in this wine! Like drinking a cherry & white chocolate candy bar! Love it! What a great value!"

Much to each others surprise, Tiffany and I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Yes, it could have been the slice of a nut roll that we purchased at Polonia Polish Restaurant's deli but it wasn't that alone.
I would have been terribly guilt-ridden had I not measured the nut roll slice and limited myself to but approximately an ounce of this liquid cherry treasure. Trust me... it's liquid cherry dream in a bottle! Oh yeah... When we finish this particular wine I shall be the owner of a most beautiful salad dressing bottle. I can picture Tiffany's 1,001 Island Dressing inside the empty vessel.
