Garden Of Light

Chateau Ste. Michelle

Columbia Valley Riesling 2016

Color of bubbly egg white. Nose of honey , a bit gasoline, pineapple, and actually a bit nutty and oaky note. Taste is sweet honey, some zesty peel, Sprite, citrus, lemonade like flavor, light yet refreshing. Aftertaste is a bit short, but definitely a crowd pleaser. — 8 years ago

It's #NationalDrinkWineDay, what's in your glass?
I can't stop thinking about this DELICIOUS #ArnotRoberts Trousseau I had this week! Soft & rosey w an almost rhubarb/raspbry compote center, the wine carries glints of delightful basil & plush violet petal. Light, lovely & ridiculously gulpable❤️❤️❤️

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Endless rosary of tiny bubbles, within a light golden straw color. Nice compromise on the nose between aromas of freshly made brioche and bread dough, and green apple, and citric acidity. The tangyness in this champagne es fenomenal. Great body to it, very harmonious and interesting composition. Great value for the price. Its acidity is really seductive and gracious. Very discreate orangy flavor on the ligering finish. 91 pts. — 12 years ago

SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria

Gold copper. Wildly fragrant. Flower shop, cured meats, pepper, tangy peach. M+ body, sour, light bitterness. Long skin maceration gives it a slight stick of tannin. Awesome. — 9 years ago

Sonoma County Trousseau 2014

A beautiful example of contrast & tension. Fleshy red berries are at the core surrounded by shimmering acidity and a light spiciness. That spice gently walks the line between an herbal or savory note on the back of the palate. This is on the light side of medium bodied, but possesses an almost creamy texture, yet another contrast. I usually love Trousseau with fish, but this was brilliant with bibimbap. @Tegan Passalacqua — 10 years ago

Bibimap???

@Ron R - I misspelled it before. Bibimbap is a Korean rice bowl with lots of tasty meat & veggies & Gochujang (spicy bean paste). All topped with a fried egg. The acid in this wine & the egg yolk are heaven together

Deep garnet red with lots of bricking on the edges. Light cassis and dark cherries on the nose with some tertiary notes like earthiness and damp leaves. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Lots of complexity with light cassis and dark cherries, a little bit of tomato leaves and earthiness. Very well rounded and integrated with a long finish. This will only keep losing fruit and get earthier with time. Drink now. — 9 years ago

Boy, do I love these grapes. The floral aromatics are enough to hook the most jaded wine snot. Light body, concentrated, and acid that goes all day. I don't know why I buy this wine only a couple of bottles at a time. Just so delightful. — 12 years ago
