Steve Ewing of Spirivin and Ciaran

Bivio Pinot Grigio 2006 light lemongrass and actually a nice Pinot Grigio.. but what makes it stand out among all the others when they all run the gamit from a to b.

Tamas Pinot Grigio Monterey...a value Pinot Grigio that has a cute label and a nice wine. tamas is making only cal-italians or as I like to call them italiafornias. This will sell for about $9

Wente Sauvignon Blanc Louis Mel 2007...very smoky and herbal..nice body too. Louis Mel was one of the founders of Wente back in the day.

Wente Chardonnay Morning Bay 2007 the amount of wente clone chardonnay is 7 out of 10. so with that pedigree you expect a great chard..and for the money this is. lots going on in the mid palate and a clean finish with a touch of tropical fruit but nothing overwhelming

Picket Fence Chardonnay Russian River 2007 i really liked this with a soft silky mouthfeel and just enough ml and oak to season but not overwhelm..and a Russian River wine at this price point is impressive...

I didnt get to the last two wines because of working at the counter...sorry steve,
