Cynthia.

Domaine Sylvain Langoureau Bourgogne Aligote 2012  a very lemon aid nose, a bit fruity.. aligote is a white wine that is allowed in burgundy but not usually represented on its own

Zuani Collio 2011 a blend of white grapes from the northeast area of Italy.. tart.. pink grapefruit. lush mouthfeel. thought it would have a longer finish but very pleasant

Chateau Marjosse Bordeaux blanc 2012 Sauv Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle.. sweet lemon lime nose, some herbacious character.. nice acidity.. may be harder to pair with food as opposed to being by itself

Fantini Sagiovese igt abruzzo 2012.. fruit nose, touch of dirt on the palate but not aggresive.. lush almost sweet jammy finish..

Sottimano Bric del salto Dolcetto d'alba 2012.. what was my first favorite grape dolcetto has become not so much... very bubble gum and beaujolais style nose, young vines green.. not my cup of tea

Domaine les Clos de Caveau Vacqueyras 2010  dark fruit.. lots of dark black cherry.. good acidity. long mid palate.. was waiting for a little restraint but that didnt come through


bernie

Paul Mas Estate Chardonnay 2012  a lot of rough edges on the palate.. pretty nose though

Dry Creek Fume Blanc 2012 grassy.. lots of acidity.. typical california sb

Paul Mas Pinot noir 2012 dark color.. and dark fruit.. again with the rough chunky edges.

Dry Creek Cabernet Dry Creek 2010  lots of tannins.. and dark cassis berry again with the fruit tannins.. could use a little time to settle
