D'intensité moyenne, marqué par les agrumes, légèrement pétrolé. Au palais l'acidité est moyenne -, le corps moyen, alcool moyen +, touche saline, peu aromatique au final mais agréable.

Second Sunday Group: Domestic Grenache (Frank's): Pale color with notes of of citrus/grapefruit and mineral, though somewhat restrained and nondescript. There's a candied sour apple quaity to the palate ending with a hint of jalapeno pepper which, combined with the wine's bright acidity, leads me to think this is Sauv Blanc. The finish is a little short, but it's clean and easy to drink.

I really enjoy vermentino and this one is no different. The nose is mineral and ocean. Apple and pear are the fruit. Very dry with lots of acid with a long finish. This was really good.

Contratto / La Spinetta Visit (Canelli, Italy): Light straw color; bright nose, fresh, mineral driven, white pepper; good citrus on the palate, slight pear, nice body, salty finish; tasty.
