Bloomer Creek Vineyard

Skin Fermented Pet Nat Gewürztraminer 2019

Had to capture the contrast between the cobalt blue sky and the lava lamp neon orange skin fermented wine. Reminiscent of a Jules Verne novel.

Oranges and apricots in the bouquet blend with honey bee pollen aromas.

Sips of this are sun kisses showering down from the skies as rays of refreshing , thirst quenching flavor.

Clementine surf on a spindrift of apricots cresting into a thyme undercurrent.

Despite having a considerable amount of sediment, which I allowed to diffuse into the elixir, I couldn’t detect much of the funky notes they warn you of. Just rounded out sips of pleasure and satisfaction.

Simply, simply love this.

Coto de Gomariz

The Flower and the Bee (La Flor y La Abeja) Ribeiro Tinto Sousón

Slightly chill before drinking. Floral, blackberry and spice. Some tannin. Medium bodied. Acid. Good summer red option or lunch/brunch. Paired well with aged cheeses, blackberries. Winner of tonight’s tasting. — 3 months ago

Château Guiraud

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2005

Columbia County 3.0: Apparently I’m one wine away from my 2,000th reviewed on Delectable, which is probably an odd milestone I would not have even conceived of when starting. What better way to celebrate than with the queen bee of wines (?), royalty w grace : an utterly intense & laser- focused Sauternes. Apricot & pineapple perfumed to the point of raising the rafters. Floods the mouth w quince, candied apricot & pineapple. This may be only its half life, & that’s understating it. — 3 years ago
