An excellent Pinot Grigio from Northern Italy.  Light golden in color with a light touch of copper, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with nice minerality, crushed rocks, slight lime, a bit of almonds and steely finish.  Medium bodied.  Juicy texture.  Crisp acidity.  13.5% abv.  On the palate, this is tasty with Granny Smith apples, lots of stony minerality and a long finish.  This is great on its own and will work with some foods.  This would go well with Pasta in a cream sauce but also, think Grilled Shrimp.  Drink over the next two or three years.  

This 2021 Brut Rose marks Cuvaison’s ninth vintage of producing a sparkling wine. Comprised of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, there is a lovely delicateness to this wine, a softness that is alluring. You will find notes of strawberry, raspberry, light lemon chiffon, white peach, violet petals, rose water, a hint of black cherry, and lime peel. There is a compelling minerality running through this along with a moderate acidity to make this structurally competent. The fruit is evident, the bubbles inviting and this makes for a great food companion

Always a classic.  At age 27, this still has plenty to offer.  Deep ruby in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose has tobacco, earthiness, dried cherries, cassis and spice.  Full bodied.  Tannins mostly resolved.  On the palate, this is fully mature and past prime but still has a lot going on.  Layers of dried and fresh cherries with some cassis and spice.  A bit of a leathery quality as well as earthiness.  Good finish.  This will benefit from food.  A Beef stew would work well.  Drink up.  

Silvery/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is tight but opens to show lemons, a slight herbal note and good minerality.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is slightly sweet (barely) with nicce lemony notes.  A slight yellow grapefruit comes out with air.  It drinks easy on its own and will work with lighter foods.  This would be a nice wine with Tuna Salad.  Drink over the next couple of years.  

This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley.  The grapes are grown organically.  Medium gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemon zest and some minerality.  Crisp acidity.  Slightly oily texture.  On the palate, nice lemony notes with just the slightest hint of gooseberries.  Moderate finish.  This is drinking well now on its own and would be nice with light appetizers such as Brie.  It is a fantastic value.  Drink over the next three to five years.  

Made from 30+ year old vines near the city  of Chavignol.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with lemons and slight wild thyme.  Clean.  Medium bodied.  Nice oily texture.  On the palate, this is very slightly sweet with lemons.  Nice acidity.  Good finish.  This drinks great on its own and will work with many foods.  Goat cheeses would work well say, for example a Beet and Goat Cheese Salad.  Drink over the next five years.  

This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley.  Silvery gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with slight lemons and a floral (white flowers?) note.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  Slightly creamy texture.  On the palate, crisp lemon citrus flavors.  Plenty of depth and minerality.  Nice finish.  In style, this is lower on fruit with more on complexity and depth.  It should age well and possibly improve.  A serious wine.  It is nice on its own but should be better with food.  Crab cakes would be a good pairing.  

This is Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France.  Silvery gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is tight at first but opens to show lemon and slight crushed shells.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this seems to have a bit of residual sugar.  Just a hint of sweetness.  Also, flavors of lemon citrus.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own but probably a bit better with food.  Ceviche would be a nice pairing.
