Wine of the Week

Yangarra Estate Viognier

Monday, June 30, 2008

The nose is a ripe and exotic mix of jasmine and white nectarines. The palate is fresh and crisp with stone fruits and citrus.  A hint of creaminess brings harmony to the long crisp finish. 

Big House White

Monday, June 16, 2008

Big House White is a grocery store wine made from a lot of grapes you may never have heard of. They include Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Malvasia, Bianca, Muscat, and Marsanne among others.

The nose smells floral and leaves the impression of a very sweet wine. However the wine is refreshingly fruit forward without being very sweet at all. There is also a mineral quality with the wine that allows food matches with grilled chicken, simple seafood preparations - particularly with a little spice. Mostly, it's a backyard quaffer from a reputable producer (Bonny Doone) at a good price - about $9

Great Oregon white wine which is a blend of nine different varietals. This wine has something for everyone with great floral, pear, and apple flavors. Pick up a bottle today and if nothing else, challenge your pallet to find the nine varietals!
