2021 Chateau la Freynelle Blanc is a blend of Semillon, muscadelle and Sauv Blanc that presents as a very pale yellow to platinum color with clarity. There is a minimal presence of petulance with slight effervescence in the glass. The tears quickly fall once the glass is swirled. Essence of lemon, grapefruit and white flowers on the nose that yield to candied citrus on the palette. This is a light, crisp, dry white with 12.5% ABV. The finish is short but cleansing.

Lustau “Solera Reserva’ Fino Jarana Sherry is produced by Emilio Lustau and Bodega Lustau in southern Spain. This medium weight wine is made with 100% Palomino grapes and presents with a brilliant, pale yellow color. In the glass you’ll note that a good swirl will not produce “legs” but will show a strong sheeting action. The alcohol level is pleasant at 15% ABV and this is dry holding only 1g/l of residual sugar. The aromas show lemon curd, buttered popcorn yet slight medicinal notes. The mouthfeel is solid but just shy of weighty and a medium to long finish that nudges toward the essence of walnut oil and almond paste.
