Blind at Auggie's: Pear, white peach, green apple, lime, lemon, radish, white pepper, asparagus; mineral-stones, citrus blossom; dry, med+ acid, med. alc, med. - body. I think I guessed Pinot Grigio--seemed very clean to me (someone else picked out pepper and greens).

First Gruner I've ever tasted so I have no idea what to expect. Nose of green apple and lemon zest. Medium palate with green apple acidity and lime but tart at the end with a slight feeling of bubbly right before the finish which is dry and short. I can get used to this as an alternative to Vinho Verde in summer. Will look to explore more Gruners in the future.

On the light side, but that's not necessarily bad. Pure and simple aromas of snap pea, lime zest and mineral. Juicy and zippy in the mouth but could use more concentration and verve.

Efficient and green apple taste and mouth feel. Session wine or summer wine

bubble gum, banana and potpourri on the nose. sweet and fruity on the palate with a tart and bitter finish that reminds me of citrus peel.
