Winemaker note: “Pale straw-yellow in color, the bouquet is clean and expressive. The aroma sends scents of fresh white flowers, green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus. This wine stands out on the palate. You can taste poached pear, pineapple, apricot, and mandarin oranges with hints of ground ginger, honeysuckle, and lemon thyme. It has an excellent balance between acidity and creaminess, making it an easy drinking wine that is at once rich and full-bodied. With a very pleasant aftertaste that beckons you to take another sip.” — 2 months ago

A dynamic white that out kicks its coverage.

My wine shop said it best: “Ribolla Gialla
Venezia Giulia, Italy
--
100% Ribolla Gialla made in the same process as the Friulano above. These are clean and thoughtfully made wines with nothing added... As Mario puts it: "Some would say that our wines are made by subtraction, and perhaps yes, we like to give a more light and crisp character to what we produce … 'Less is more.'" The Ribolla Gialla is deliciously light and perfect for serving with a a first course- like antipasti (salty nuts, cured ham, and olives).
--
A burst of bitter orange, salty minerality, tangy citrus, clean and dry” — 4 months ago

Concentrated fruit, soft, and a bit of spice -
Some of the best value CdR out there, sourcing fruit from around Southern Rhône!! Jean Louis Chave expertise at an entry-level price.

This was a young wine but 2022 was a good year: Extreme drought vintage resulted in lower yields and concentrated, freshly acidic wines. — 3 months ago

Delightful pasta wine — appealed to both the “chilled red” crowd and the piedmont drinkers, especially when you don’t want to break the bank with a barolo or barbaresco — 4 months ago

A perfect Spätburgunder from Baden — the closest a German Pinot Noir has tasted to Burgundy, and an excellent value at ~$40 a bottle.

Classic Pinot noir flavors of cherry, raspberry, and earth. — 4 months ago

Delightfully refreshing Vinho Verde blend. Perfect with young, semi firm cheese and tinned fish. — 4 months ago
