After a couple months of hiatus, the Friday City Club group was able to get back together (albeit a smaller, more spread out group) for an epic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine, all served blind.
A palate revitalizer after the reds! Like a shot of vitamin C to your taste buds. Apricot, ripe peach, and mango all drizzled in orange blossom honey. Didn’t have the nuttiness of Sauternes but there was really nice acidity here. I called this late harvest Cali SB/semillon.

Daaaaaaamn son. This was a pleasure. Honey, apricot jam, peaches, nectarines, sweet syrup. With powerful acid backbone, it's layers and layers. Stupid good.

Absolutely love this as a dessert wine. Less sweet than a Sauterne but crisp, fresh, floral with a hint of apple and citrus. Very surprising and delightful.

I like everything Merry Edwards and this was not an exception. First time trying and hit all the right spots. Honeyed fruit without being cloying or too heavy. I'll get this again and more than one.
