Montinore Estate
Borealis The Northern Whites Willamette Valley Müller-Thurgau Blend
Was told this was a better alternative to the Apothic White that I usually get for an easy white blend. Unfortunately I found this one overly sweet (the Apothic is a little sweet but dry so it drinks better). Wouldn't get again. — 8 years ago

Lodi Graciano 2015
Verdelho Lodi from California. To me, it was way too much like a Sauvignon Blanc which I don't like. However, if that is your cup of tea then go for it. — 9 years ago
Mer Soleil
Silver Unoaked Monterey County Chardonnay 2013
Kept meaning to try this but it was more expensive than the typical chardonnay so I waited until it was on sale. It was ok but not great so I'd say not worth the money. Crisp and fruity but still a bit too buttery for the unoaked variety. — 9 years ago
Terrazas de Los Andes
Reserva Salta Torrontés 2015
Crios is better. This Torrontes is just a little too much something (not acidic but along those lines). Thick, rich, & viscous. — 8 years ago
Pierre-Henri Morel
Côtes du Rhône Villages Laudun Grenache Blanc Blend 2013
Mix of grenache blanc, roussanne, voignier, & clairette. I don't taste much of the voignier & not sure what clairette is but def taste the mix of the 1st two. Slightly acidic, just a touch bitter but wet (not a dry white). Would drink again and purchase if trying to please both the Sav Blanc & Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay crowd (it's a decent balance between those 2 ends of the spectrum). — 8 years ago
Felix Solis
Vina San Juan White Blend 2015
Blends are nice bc they tend to please most by having mild flavor profiles. This one is slightly more on the acidic/bitter side of things but still quite drinkable. — 9 years ago
Frecciarossa
Sillery Oltrepò Pavese Pinot Nero 2013
Tried this as a potential alternative to Pinot Grigio but it's much thicker/wetter. It also has a mild bitter aftertaste. Didn't care for it and wouldn't pick it over more standard white pinots. — 8 years ago
The Independent
Wilson Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2015
Possibly my 1st Chenin Blanc. I would equate it to a soft Sauvignon Blanc. It's a little acidic but not as bitter nor juicy. Not something I would gravitate towards given other chkices like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, but def preferred over Sav Blanc so a viable option when needed. — 8 years ago
La Petite Tour
California Classic White 2014
A bit juicy so mildly sweet and wet. Could actually use a bit more acidity, which is unusual for my tastes but it just needs a little something extra. — 9 years ago

Lovely, silky texture. Fruity with a crisp finish. — 8 years ago
