2016 Albert Boxler Edelzwicker Reserve 87 Points
France, Alsace
Always a good wine in the aromatic style with notes of ripe apricots, orange flowers, and apple. Very slightly off dry, the wine is balanced and complex, just a hint of tannins, moderate body, very supple and has a lingering fruit finish.

2017 La Marca di San Michele Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore Capovolto 86 Points
Italy, Marche, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore
Uncomplicated nose of white clover, this wine is crisp and balanced and is wonderful in the finish. At $25 a bit overpriced for fresh sipper but if you are buying I'll drink it.

2017 Château Feuillet Petite Arvine Valle d'Aosta
Italy, Valle d'Aosta
Full and balanced the nose is marred by the use of an Altec cork. Despite this the ripe floral notes are there and the wine is full and supple. Pity about the cork.

Italy, Sardinia, Colli del Limbara IGT
An off character of menthol dominates this wine.

2017 Cantina Terlan Pinot Bianco 88 Points
Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Alto Adige - Südtirol
Balanced and full this is a lovely white, a note of yeast but mostly a rich citrus nose, without oak, a lovely stainless steel wine. Clean finish and good linger.

2017 Cantina Terlan Sauvignon Terlano Winkl 90 Points
Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Terlano
Someone did not like my use of the term cat pee but this wine is best described by saying it. Intense and supple this lovely wine is the essence of Sauvignon Blanc. Pricy but worth it.

2016 Herencia Altes Garnatxa Negra Terra Alta 89 Points
Spain, Catalunya, Tarragona, Terra Alta
Moderate color with a spicy Grenache nose. A really lovely wine in the moderate style, supple and balanced with enough to stand anything but light enough to work with fish dishes. Great value

2016 Valle Reale Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 84 Points
Italy, Abruzzi, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
The color was bright and purple, the nose developed but mostly indistinguishable, lots of drying tannins, acid balanced. $13 but there are more interesting wines around, this was not compelling.

2017 Quentin Harel Beaujolais-Villages Les Grandes Terres 85 Points
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages
Nice but a bit minty and unfocused, not enough fruit and not clean enough for me to spend $22.

2017 Domaine Chignard Fleurie Les Moriers 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie
Rich but the flavors were still unfocused and I passed at $26. The wine was balanced and had a nice structure.

2014 Domaine Blain Soeur et Frére Côte de Brouilly Pierre Bleue Flawed
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Côte de Brouilly
Way too rustic stinky tonight. Reminds of a hair permanent, and sweaty horse. Opened two bottles both were similar.

2017 Ferruccio Carlotto Schiava Vigneti delle Dolomiti 85 Points
Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Alto Adige - Südtirol
This was nice, a very light red that is spicy and well balanced. Similar to a full bodied rose, but at $27 I can have more fun with two better roses priced at $13.
