Introduction

Anniversary dinner. View of San Diego bay is phenomenal!

Flight 1 - Dry and Racy Whites (3 Notes)

  • 2011 Bodegas Ramon Bilbao Rías Baixas Valinas 85 Points

    Spain, Galicia, Rías Baixas

    Bouquet citrus, muddled. Taste light citrus and fruit, some acid, mild unimpressive finish. Went very well with shrimp cocktail sauce - developed a long powerful finish that was like a "pow"!. No real advantage with crab cakes, salmon, or ceviche. Would not buy again due lack of complexity. $15 for flight of 3 wines at Island Prime / C Level Restaurant on Harbor Island in San Diego, CA.

    Bouquet peach, pear, citrus, French terroir is obvious. Taste same as bouquet, with nice balanced butter finish. Texture smooth, long finish. Went very well with crab cakes and ceviche. Good to drink by itself also. Will put on buy list. $15 for flight of 3 wines at Island Prime / C Level Restaurant on Harbor Island in San Diego, CA.
