Pape Blanc Blue Mountain Vineyard Viognier Blend 2019
BUY MORE OF THIS. Didn’t get to have again but this was a favorite at Tranche. I was sick but mom and Elisia enjoyed it. — 3 years ago
Fidélitas
Quintessence Sauvignon Blanc
Honestly, sort of disappointing. We carry the wine at the shop and this flavor profile simply wasn’t for me. Presents west coast/California Sauvignon Blanc lemon curd, somewhat buttery, muted complexity. — 3 years ago

Chardonnay 2018
Wonderful Chardonnay, slight oak but just enough to enjoy. Peach, apricot, vanilla, but in a great way. WOULD BUY AGAIN (2018) — 3 years ago

XOBC Cellars
Elijah Walla Walla Valley Grenache 2001
Super bright, medium-light fruit notes, minerality finish with rhubarb on the nose, a little bit of spice and clove. Betsy was SO wowed by it and she never compliments wine. I loved it and it might be one of my favorite granaches. The Rotie Winemaker is a legend! — 3 years ago
Alexana
Fennwood Vineyard Pinot Noir
First wine I’ve ever aged! 2014 Alexana Pinot Noir from the Fennwood Vineyard. Drank at the cabin in WV in celebration of Betsy’s 34th birthday and my first SM promotion. We humbly had this wine with plastic dish ware instead of stemware lol. This bottle stood the test of time - juicy ripe fruits, balanced acidity, with some earth notes. Absolutely wonderful and so thankful! In the company of Betsy, Mollis, and Kelly King. — 3 years ago
