Rioja Viura

Bruised apple, cardboard, with a touch of honey.

Canned tennis balls meets key lime pie. Hints of yellow apple and petrol. Viscous and round on the palate. Golden apples carry through. Acidity is there, but this is more round and medium weight.

Dry, creamy, interesting. $7.99 at Trader Joe's.

Some floral notes but slight metallic note on palate entry.

Straw green and brilliant. Dull nose of floral, lemon, ginger. Balanced accompaniment to light dishes and cheese. Hohum, but great quality for value.

Bright. Floral and good acid. Refreshing and delicious in the Florida heat. Great QPR

Suitable for summer. Better than its cheap price tag.

Good acidity with some balance, good value. Had with shrimp fra diablo

Clean like a sauvignon blanc but with a floral finish. On a second tasting it had an astringent finish. Avoid.

Lovely accompaniment to light dinner, hors d'oeurves. Dry with substance and a nice blend of fruit favors.
