Super ripe apricots and golden apples with mandarin orange, button mushroom, spicy bell pepper, honey, flowers, and beeswax on the nose. Fruits continue onto palate with ginger spice and cinnamon. Finish reminds me of Apple Jacks. A touch of RS. Fun wine, a good expression.

This could be the best $16 you spend this month! Sparkling Chenin Blanc with zippy acidity and apples and quince.

An interesting Vouvray on the dry side taking a while to open up. 2020 vintage at Costco for $15

A somewhat closed nose with a light yellow body, some small bubbles, but not as many as one would expect if a classic in bottle fermentation were used. Nice, slightly complex body of light to medium body and a ice short aftertaste. Worth the money, but not a Champagne.
