TN: Whites that won't break you


Here are further notes from my blog at www.blogomonster.com-dan708

2003 Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Riesling Mosel-Saar-Ruwer - Pale gold color, citrus-peach aroma with citrusy-white peppery flavors, finished off-dry. Not too shabby for $5.99 (sale).

2004 Sutter Home Sauvignon Blanc California - Very light gold color, lime aroma, limey-grbutty flavors with a fairly complex, moderately long finish. Probably the best wine I ever got from Sutter Home at an amazingly low $4.99 (sale).

OT sort of.... Cleaning RED wine carpet stain

2002 KOG Hill Riesling - bold gold color, flowery-gasoline nose, peachy apricot flavor with firm structure and a lightly sweet finish. Regular price $12.99. From PA.

2004 Long Trout Ha-Hiyuga Cayuga - a white made from the native US Cayuga grape. light yellow color, peach-lemon aromas and flavors with crisp acidity and an off-dry finish. Cayuga is usually made as a sweet "starter" wine; this is refreshingly atypical. $7.50. From PA.

2004 Domaine De La Batardiere Muscadet Sevre et Maine (from France, obviously) - pale greenish-yellow, interesting seafoam and lime aromas, lime and nut flavors with a slightly acid finish. Bears some resemblance to Sauvignon Blanc. Only $8.99 regular price.

2004 Black Tower Rivaner - very pale yellow, mild peach aroma and flavor with moderate acidity and an off-dry finish. Fairly neutral, an acceptable food wine. $6.99 Rivaner is actually the Muller-Thurgau grape.

Viader, St Hallets, Brane Cantenac, Huegenot, Mentelle
Notes from my monthly blind tasting lunch. We started off with a stuffed Dungeness crab, so the restaurant had to stick in a white as none of the participants had brought one. 2004 Monte Armontes...

2004 Bella Sera Pinot Grigio - light yellow in color, lemon-lime aroma and flavor with racy acidity, fairly long finish. $7.99 on sale
