    Jermann Pinot Grigio

    A floral nose conceals a bushel of mixed apples. The nose is floral, hibiscus and apple blossom. It is meatier on the palate, filled with apples from tart to bruised, with a touch of lemon zest. Sour apples linger. Drink with fried pork tenderloin. Highly Recommended. 88 points. WHO: Jermann

    Bright and refreshing, flowing from soft on the nose to tart on the finish. Apple and citrus blossoms waft up from the glass. The palate is more tart than the nose, showing sour apple and barely-ripe peach. It is clean and tart, a refreshing warm weather quaff. Drink with shrimp

    Branborg Coastal Cuvée

    Aromas of apples and pears practically leap out of the glass. Sweet, almost syrupy ripe pears and Honeycrisp apples make up the palate. Bare hints of white pepper show the presence of Gewürztraminer, but the softness of Pinot Gris and the sweetness of Riesling dominate. Drink with chicken and biscuits. Recommended.

    2016 Jordan Russian River Valley Chardonnay

    It’s such a pleasure to relax into this  Chardonnay that, despite being made in California, is quite Burgundian in style. This wine is full bodied, with beautifully balanced elements of fruit, oak and acidity. There’s a touch of honey, then peach skin on the end palate and into the finish,

    This rich Sauvignon Blanc is softened around the edges with the addition of small amounts of Sauvignon Musque and Sauvignon Gris. The color is pale straw. The nose is soft and rich, crème brûlée and melon. White peaches and honeydew melon show on the palate, lime peeks through on the mid-palate.

    A wine that was accurately described as “bold” by the tasters with me that evening. This wine is fruitier than some other red wines from Piedmont – even other Ruchè wines-- with more wood notes appearing as baking spices and vanilla, within the overall hearty wine. It has a big

    Lemon zing and guava soft come together in this refreshing, slightly restrained Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The color is a pale, bright gold. Tropical and soft citrus aromas flow up from the glass, guava, mango, and Meyer lemon. The lemon is more tart on the palate, juice and pith. Tropical

    2017 Ferraris “Sant’Eufemia” Ruchè of Castagnole Monferrato DOCG

    A light red wine that's easy to drink -- and a little different from anything you might have tried before. Though the winemaker calls this a casual wine, I found it to be elegant as well. There’s a beautiful, well-defined cherry and garrigue aroma. On the palate it’s fresh, with
