 Tasted by WNissen on 6/28/2008: Strongly leesy, with apricot/melon flavors. Taste is almost sake-like, lees and lush mouthfeel, but also some prominent alcohol. Unusual. Long finish. Very Good. (286 views)
 Tasted by jdietz on 12/2/2007 & rated 89 points: Taken to Sidney's 40th b-day party...big fruit, some candied quality....but still a nice bottle at a very good price. Not profound, but it probably wasn't meant to be.. .. better with food than for sipping. (649 views)
 Tasted by Anonymous on 8/4/2007: drank with chinese food. Very enjoyable although not a great paring. Finished the next day, still pleasant. good food wine. (562 views)
 Tasted by wineismylife on 6/16/2007 & rated 87 points: WIML87,NOWA,NOWS

Tasted June 16, 2007 at the winery. Straw to light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Slightly spicy nose with some additional aromas of passion fruit, paraffin and lychee. Flavors of pear, lychee and yellow apple. Light acidity and body. Drink now. (630 views)
 Tasted by jdietz on 6/1/2007: Took to an amazing dinner of tostadas at Las Brisas....lots of spice, big mouthfeel... 1/2 bottle to finish today...with more notes.... (772 views)
 Tasted by egh on 5/26/2007 & rated 90 points: 13.4% alcohol. The nose is slightly spicy with pears and lemon. Very impressive on the palate...light-to-medium bodied, crisp, clean, and fresh with pear, lemon, a mineral/stone note, and cutting acidity. Well balanced. A strong buy at $20. (721 views)
 Tasted by patriciat on 4/29/2007 & rated 91 points: A must-have wine...Very lovely...so delicious that, after I tried it at the wine store's free tasting, I bought a bottle, took it home, and finished it myself within 24 hours! I just couldn't stop drinking it. (I never drink more than a glass or two a day.) Definitely worth the price, and I normally don't consider buying an "everyday" wine that's over $15. (708 views)
 Tasted by sbwino on 3/23/2007 & rated 89 points: (508 views)
 Tasted by windinthewillows1 on 2/28/2007: Enjoyed this wine at an SF restaurant with salmon appetizer. Elegant and full of taste. Would buy again. (756 views)
 Tasted by slaton on 1/14/2007: BAWE does Alsace (Oakland, CA): Ringer. Modeling glue, golden fruits, slate. Dry. Different than other wines in the flight. Wow, very elegant. Nice acid. (1136 views)
 Tasted by jlm on 11/11/2006: Nice and fruity nose of white fruits-pears mostly, though other stuff as well. Forward and giving on the palate with enough acidity to keep it light but not disturb the richness. Longish finish. This is all about the delicious fruit and it does its thing very well. Left recorked in fridge overnight and this did not budge. (918 views)
