Just in an incredible place. Needs a couple hours to come together but once its there it is this melange of pit fruit. apricots, peaches, nectarines, you name it it's got it. Also a beautiful anise undertone. Super expressive very fresh and lithe in the mouth. Just awesome.

Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The acidity is on the tart side along with flowing tones of nectarines, peaches, white fruits, red florals, some orange peels and a bit of wax.
Overall: This was a lovely wine. There is some real nice complexity and depth on both the nose and palate with a real attractive quality to the wine on the whole.

Dinner at Matyson (Matyson - Philadelphia, PA): Really dug this orange wine. The nose had interesting white floral notes, almonds and orange peel. The palate was lithe but packed with flavors of chamomile, almond, lanolin and vanilla. Nice depth with zippy acidity.

Wine Flock does Great Whites (My House): Weird appearance with light tea coloring. Aromas of tea, lemon, sweet fruit, and stones. Dry, yet nice ripe fruits are present, shows some age, zip, and power, most dominating character is dry grape skins, although some fruit qualities show through. Nice palate feel. 87 Jeff felt the strange color meant is was likely atypical.

This is the most interesting bottle of white I have had in a long while -- outpacing the Radikon, Dettori, etc. Cloudy golden amber in the glass with tastes of almonds, honey and peaches. Was a little tight on first opening, but after an hour in the glass was absolutely singing.

Excellent. Ice tea color, apple cider initially moving into subtle peach, apricot, herbs etc.. Good acidity and evolving nicely over a few hours. Versatile wine and nice tonight with caldo gallego. A little bit remaining for night 2 and it was still strong, perhaps a little better with the same fine herb and fruit smells.

Very pretty. Medium body, with integrated tropical fruits and floral notes, with a balancing tannic profile. Melon. Similar to the Fruilian examples of this style, but very nice nonetheless.

Lovely weighty cloudy wine. Light orange/yellow with honey, herbs, citrus peel and more.... Dry on the backend. Very food friendly, accessible and seems certain to age well. If you like Gravner, Radikon and/orJoly (it is less oxidative than Joly), you will probably like this wine.

An orange wine; notes of honeysuckle and nectar; upon opening, wine appeared to lack a bouquet, but soft nectar bouquet emerged after bottle open for a half an hour.

Domaine Wine Storage Saturday BYOB (Domaine Wine Storage (Chicago)): Marmalade, subtle hone, daffodil flowers. Palate is so smooth. Soft peach fuzz. Great texture. Love Bea's wines. Such a unique esoteric orange bottling.

Another Saturday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: Complex and gorgeous nose with tones of nectarines, peaches, pears, white fruits, red florals, and a touch of wax tones as well.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The acidity is on the tart side along with flowing tones of nectarines, peaches, white fruits, red florals, some orange peels and a bit of wax.
Overall: This was a lovely wine. There is some real nice complexity and depth on both the nose and palate with a real attractive quality to the wine on the whole.

Saturday Afternoon at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): Exotic nose of orange marmalade, iron, and white floral notes. Its palate was at first insanely minerally. With some air, the fruit started to blossom. Orange and peach flavors dominated.

Delicious and subtle notes of pollen, preserved lemons and Rosemary. One of my favorite "orange" wines.
