  Winebar [3 Whites & 6 Reds] from 8/25/17 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Attractive minerals atop lemons with undertones of flowers
  
  P: Med, poss MF, body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt met by a counterbalancing acidity which init builds before ult reaching a LONG, almost swtish, very, VERY slightly honied finish with at least occasional traces of the mid-P acidity. An interesting style that I'm thinking would primarily work as an aperitif. Drink now & into, if not through, '19. 87 pts Guía Peñín (6/’16). [As of mid Mar '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $19.99].

  Pale, light straw in color with a slight effervescent. Full, fragrant & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of citrus notes of lemons & limes, green apples & grapefruit with overtones of stony, minerals & some saline notes in the background. Light bodied with a good concentration of balanced & crisp textured, ripe fruit flavors of lemons, limes & grapefruit with minerals & a hint of saline. Drinks quite well at present & may develop slight further with another year of additional aging.

  Crisp and lively, lemony green apple. Bright refreshing and with some fine frizzante. Similar to the best vinho verde, better than most witha bit more complexity to the flavors.

  A San Diego Birthday Bash (San Diego, California): The label was stamped "17-2015" so I assume this is a 2015 vintage. Frizzante, slightly effervescent, with pleasant off-dry notes of lemon-lime, touch of saline and minerals, and light bread dough. An easy drinking, quaffable, refreshing summer wine. Delicious on its own and with oysters, crackers and cheese, and a variety of other hors d'oeuvres. This is three times the price, but not three times as good, as the stylistically similar Espiral, a nice little Portuguese vinho verde for $5 at Trader Joe's.
