Salmon Run Riesling 2019
This is on the sweeter side with some minerality on the finish. Good for a hot afternoon and for someone trying to get a friend or family member to try something other than (blank) white Zinfandel. Now this is much better than white Zinfandel. So don’t let that stop you from enjoying this reisling. — 4 months ago

Descendientes de José Palacios
Pétalos Bierzo Mencía 2020
2020 vintage from Northwest Spain’s Galacia region, with moderate tannin before resting, think Merlot. Balanced. Tart cherry, blackberry, some sort of stone on the end. Really nice. Pleasant mouth filling tartness on the finish and dryness, but after the bottle is open a for a bit it’s less dry. — 2 months ago

Salt
Salt is a blend of 85% Skin-Contact Grüner Veltliner, 10% Chardonnay, 5% Albariño -- it's bright with fresh acidity. Lemon zest, grapefruit and unripened nectarines with a flinty finish makes you think the Albariño leads in this blend. — 2 months ago

Do Zoe Rías Baixas Albariño Blend 2022
This is a surprise. I did an educated pick from a wine store that doesn’t have the best selection. Very nice Albariño. It has all of the characteristics you would expect. Definitely a wine region that casual wine drinkers should look for. If you only drink Chardonnay, try this. I love the saline finish to this wine, like a flavor you would find in a good sherry. Light body, a delicious amount of acid, grapefruit and nectarines, and I get chalk, which is not common, maybe it’s me, but I get chalk in Albariño wine. Look people, drink more Albariño. — 2 months ago

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2020
2020 vintage. Wow. Medium ruby color. Red fruit aroma. Flavors of raspberry and strawberry jam, herbal note (lovage?), some bell pepper with moderate acid, little tannin depending on the temperature. Give it a moment, it will open up after 10 minutes in your glass. — 5 months ago

Wow. When I think of Germany I think of wonderful white wine, not red. This 2019 vintage is a bright acidic Pinot Noir, Spatburginder in German, from Franken(stein— not really) has raspberry and dried blueberry flavors. Drink with food, great with mushroom béchamel lasagna. Recommended. — a month ago
