Pale lemon/lime colored with medium viscosity legs (13.5% ABV).  Medium intensity aromas of white pepper, lanolin, lime, pear, red apple and wet stone.  The palate is dry with high acidity and a medium body.  Flavors of silky lanolin with spicy white pepper and Bartlett pear mix with slightly underripe red apple and zingy citrus.  The finish is medium in length and a touch tart from the high acidity.  It’s refreshing, yet the full body is counterintuitive.  This comes in a 1 litre bottle for $16 and gets 88 points from me.  I’m pairing this 4 star wine with Thai Beef Kaprow and a vegetarian Green Curry.  Drink now.  Salut….

Pale lemon colored with a watery sheen and some evidence of effervescence (12.5% ABV).  The nose has aromas of lemon and lime with white pepper, crunchy green apple, lanolin and wet slate.  The palate is dry with high acidity that hits on the jaw rather than the tongue.  This slightly effervescent wine has a spritz to the light body where I get flavors of citrus, white pepper, wet wool and green apple.  The finish is medium in length and leans towards slightly unripe green apple, lemon and pungent pepper.  I am tasting this wine only slightly chilled, I think it will perform better with some time in the ice bucket.  I’m going to try and pair it with pulled pork that has been slow smoked all day with a spicy dry rub.  87 points from me for this $15 effort makes it a 3 star wine to drink in the short term.  Salut….
