Vietti
Roero Arneis 2013
Pours straw in color. Citrus grapefruit-like aromas with some grass. Reminds us of Sauvignon Blanc. Some pithiness to the flavors along with some more grass and citrus maybe a hint of pear. A crisp wine with a medium to light body and a medium finish. Rating is tough since this is not our typical grape so we will go with what people who know the varietal as to not beat up the score — 11 years ago

Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen
Eroica Columbia Valley Riesling 2013
Right on the money with this Riesling! Straw in color and star bright. Nose was filled with lemon-lime, honeydew, Granny Smith apples, wild honey, citrus blossom, ginger, and new plastic pool toy aromas. The palate was extremely well balanced and the acidity was high and puckering. The tart lemon and lime flavors held through the finish. The finish was surprisingly long, and it was a nice medium-minus body. This Riesling provides a solid compliment to spicy sushi and spicy foods. It holds up strong and has a lot of backbone. All in all, this is your Riesling if you are looking for a refreshing, acidic, dry breath of fresh air. Instant favorite of mine! Washington dry Rieslings are spectacular. Cheers! — 10 years ago
