Alb Demisec Fetească Regală

Enjoyed this one. Not entirely sure which vintage but think it was a great value for the price. $6.99 at Total Wine. Paired with Romanian chicken kebabs (Frigarui), bulz and a Romanian cauliflower dish. Lightly sweet but also had some nice acidity that cut through that. New grape for us- sometimes reminded me of a sauv blanc but without the minerality and tartness that sometimes comes in them. Semi-dry had me nervous but it was great. Definitely going to get more for sitting on the deck this summer! — 19 days ago

Had the ‘15 and jumped at chance to taste another vintage and it was equally as enjoyable. Such a delicious, amiable wine, great aromatics out of the gate, very accessible and not showing any signs of age. This shows like a middle of the road Medoc and is balanced & smooth. — 10 months ago

Alb de Purcari Chardonnay Blend 2019

Citrusy nose, with some flinty notes, some flowery touches and a bit of vanilla and oak. Great stuff. The palate is very well made with a strong acid drive, a good width with lemon and lemon peel, some soft and nice mouthfeel before a long lemony and vanilla touches that last for a good while. It's a great white! — 10 months ago
