Cynthia/Bommarito..

Toscala Vernaccia diSan Gimignano Tuscany 2012.. Vernaccia is one of the first Italian whites I ever tried.. back in the Mama Stuffeati days that was a easy drinking white wine before the days of Pinot Grigio... minerality.. surprisingly sweet tropical fruit on the finish..

Bodegas Naia Las Brisas Rueda Spain 2012... a verdejo/viura blend.. floral nose and slight pink grapefruit on the finish.. very mouthfilling

Lang and Reed Cabernet Franc North Coast 2011... showing the vegetal side of the varietal. lots of tar and tobacco. nice light juicy though.. not a lot of depth

Domaine du Joncier Le Classique Lirac 2011  again with the lavender floral on the nose, juicy long lasting deep flavors of typical character... one of my favorites..
