Sunday Kappy's had the grand holiday tasting. Here were my standouts:
Tangley Oaks Chardonnay: A hint of sweetness, SO refreshing compared to the buttered popcorn Chardonnays I'd been having. Food friendly, versatile, some fruity apple notes. YUM YUM YUM YUM.
Oriel "Etereo" Barolo: Structured, some tannins but not unctuous. Red fruit, spice. At $70 a bottle, not something I could drink every day.
Stangeland Pinot Gris: Clean, good drinking. Light fruit, a great "house white"...and I love the story of the retired chemist deciding to make wine!
Gancia Prosecco Extra Dry: I still like the Mionetto Prosecco Brut better, but this was a party in my mouth. Crisp, easy drinking sparkler.
Oriel "Palatina" Riesling : Fruity but not sweet, steely mineral notes. Food friendly and a fuck of a good wine.
Renwood Zinfandel: What a pleasant surprise! Fruity, jammy easy drinking wine. I guess I like my fruit bombs!
Banfi Pinot Grigio: Light citrus, apples, pears. Great with seafood. MMMMMMMM.
