Deep, rich color like 14-carat gold (orange wine? white wine? so mysterious!). Aggressive aromas leap from the glass: candied orange peel, roasted tropical fruit, orange blossom, jasmine tea. You can smell it from arm’s length. Full-bodied with medium acidity and a bit of sweetness. Reminiscent of Virginia petit manseng, tastes a lot like it smells…call it dried apricots and white flowers for the sake of variety. A lovely first bottle in a new home. Here’s to many more! — 2 years ago

Light and crisp with surprising minerality for the Shenandoah Valley and tart lemon-like acidity. Reminiscent of a good Spanish Albariño. Shoutout to the good people of CWC, can’t wait to visit. — 3 years ago

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! We’re gathered tight in Pittsburgh, cozy familial bonds keeping us cozy. And what better in this city of forged steel than a bricking roasty wine to match? — a year ago

Yummy grapefruit and like a crisp crunchy green apple. Lil minerals too. Did I say yummy? — 3 years ago

Riesling + chambo + traminette = wow! Such a great integration of traminette, offering up its explosion of flowers on the nose without the bathroom-potpourri taste. Instead the chambo and riesling smack you with a big ol’ ripe red sour cherry. So so fun, and interesting. — 2 years ago

Green stems and maybe something savory followed by grape Jolly Rancher on the nose. Low acid and very soft, round tannins (glass or velvet), perhaps lacking some structure or zip on the palate. Delicate red fruit and slate flavors do not linger. Super drinkable and our first experience with trousseau! — 2 years ago
