A little richer with more fruit then the typical Albarino. Turns out that the fruit is sourced from higher altitude, cooler vineyards. Before reading the tech sheet, I thought it might have had some used oak aging. Not the case.
Tart apple in addition to the classic lemon, wet rock and hint of salinity. Held up really well with pan seared sea bass. — 2 months ago
Made by Pierre Brissy, the winemaker for Jean Marc Brocard Chablis. Fruit from several Chablis Premier Cru vineyards. Only 2 bottles left when I finally bought it. Great value for the price. — 2 months ago
My favorite Cru Beaujolais, a little more weight and darker fruit then the typical Gamay. This drinks like a village level Burg. Layered, complex, med+ tannins and ages well. — 2 months ago
Another bottle that wasn’t oxidized! The Sauvignon Blanc was a little more dominant in this bottle. Got a case of this for a ridiculous close out price. If a bottle is oxidized, we cook with it. — 2 months ago
Hard to find good Australian Riesling in Michigan. So surprised to find it at Costco pre-Christmas. Fruit sourced from Eden Valley and Clare Valley. Crisp and dry with tart pear, peach and apricot. Great value but none left when I went back for more. — 2 months ago

German Pinot Noir Blanc. Thought it would be fun but was a little thin not very flavorful. It did flesh out a little on the second night. Would not buy again. — 2 months ago
Peter Lauer from the Saar makes some of my favorite German Rieslings. This is his entry level wine which is a great value. Just a hint of RS, High acid, peach, apricot, and a little melon. — 2 months ago
