Central Coast Picpoul

Pale gold, slight fizz on pour, excellent clarity. White flower and peach in nose, peach with some orchard fruit in mouth, orange and mineral aftertaste. Nice value

Apple, lemon, pear, stone fruit and hints of honeydew melon. Racy acidity and great minerality.

It is not solely Beeswax Vineyard, as there is a bit of Santa Barbara County Grenache Blanc in it. That means it gets a Central Coast designation. This white wine is bright, savory and full of acidity - ready for pairing with your favorite seafood. The winemaker speaks of its brininess, which I get as a bit of seashore, much as in Vermentino. There is a floral aspect, but the primary focus is on minerals and salinity. It is a fantastic white, perfect for the coming warmer months and just as good until then.

From Kingston Wine Company. Sour apple, lemonade, pine 🌲

Pale yellow, medium-light body, mild citrus (tangerine) on the nose, starts with a harsh pithy lemon note and mellows pretty quickly

Good but not cold enough

Lovely apricot nose, with hints of linen (fresh and dry). A little bland, not super exciting, but decent apricot on the palate.

Tart melon. Crisp and smooth. Very good.

Perfect complement to Pacific coast seafood. Subtle and light with some citrus. January 2023.

Yellow apple on the palate. Great with breaded shrimp. December 2022.
