Wine Reviews

There’s so much ripe-pear aroma in this focused dry white and the lemony freshness is more than enough to carry the generous body. Long, very clean finish that’s bone dry, but polished. A blend of two-thirds chardonnay and one-third auxerrois. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Smoke and matchstick notes on the nose underscore the nectarine and green melon fruit in this polished, medium-bodied white. A firm spine of acidity provides fine cut, and the ripe fruit profile expands on the palate alongside accents of chopped hazelnut, Mandarin orange peel and fleur de sel.

his pale straw-colored Chardonnay and Auxerrois blend from Alsace is very good. It opens with a lemon butter bouquet with hints of ripe banana and peach. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and slightly acidic with rounded edges. It is also mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mineral infused light lemon with notes of almond and banana. We also detected some hints of quince mixed in towards the end. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors showed nice length for a white. The acidity and flavors in this wine also allowed it to pair well with my paired well with my sautéed chicken with butternut squash ravioli simmered in a Parmesan cheese fresh sage cream sauce or your favorite Thai dish. Enjoy

I love this dry white’s summer-meadow, ripe-pear, honeycomb and lemon-zest character. Then comes the fresh yet silky, medium-bodied palate with a little spritz of natural carbon dioxide adding to the mineral tingle. From biodynamically grown grapes.

A flinty whiff of reduction obscures the nose on this wine. The palate comes in with slight lemon freshness and nutty-textured, chalky brightness. Lovely balance fills the palate, still with those appetizing, flinty edges. Final freshness gives the wine its joyful fillip.
