Apr 9th, 2022So this is a good story! It’s too hot to go outside for one so I decided to open a wine I haven’t had yet and pair it with some cheese for an afternoon snack. A double Gloucester with onion & chive cheese, a garlic & herb BellaVitano and a soft dill Havarti and of course I love Castelvetrano olives! So… I send this picture to my brother, knowing that he is in France right now and I’m not usually a French wine drinker, and where do you suppose he is? In Alsace!! Needless to say I scored some points with him and am enjoying a new French wine! Thanks Alex!! Oops I forgot, this wine is made up from the Noble grapes of Alsace; Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Muscat. And… the story goes on….while reading a historical fiction about The Women of Chateau Lafayette.

1 person found it helpfulJul 2nd, 2023Quite enjoyable. Nice floral and citrus aromas, and flavors of apricot and anjou pear. At first it seemed sweeter than I was expecting, but then on the second night it had mellowed and let more of its character out. Great pairing with Mongolian seafood stirfry. 50% Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc, 22% Pinot Gris, 15% Gewürztraminer, 7% Riesling, 6% Muscat. 5/25/22.

Apr 30th, 2022Gorgeous bright and fresh lemon and pineapple nose, then warm and citrusy, with more lemon and pineapple. Seems a little thin, but beautiful and delightful.

Mar 19th, 2022Color: very pale. Nose: guava, stones, light custard, some kind of gentle flower - white tea? Very slight green-ness (like green pepper), but not vegetal. Taste: nice mouthfeel, smooth without being viscous, basically all the flavors of the nose with the addition of some slight orange. Straightforward and elegant. 89.

Nov 26th, 2021Crisp lemon, granny Smith apple, and a hint of honey. Mellows nicely without being sweet as the acid complements food well. Great with seafood, as in the scallops with a beurre blanc I made.
