Thursday French Wine Walk Around Tasting (WineStyles Columbia, SC): This one is made in a pretty sweet style. Though not for every one, to me there is always a time and a place for sweet wine, especially for the first taste of the day. This is one of those wines with nothing special, and nothing wrong. I'm not that excited about it, but we have to give them credit for a clean well made wine. There are definitely some interesting flavors and aromas. Fresh fruit on the nose with peaches, tangerine and a really neat apricot. Pretty heavy in the mouth. Tasty light colored spice on the palate also, with some natural vanilla (surely no oak was used here) nutmeg and cinnamon. I think the acid is enough to be close to balanced.

Alsace vindag 31 jan; 1/31/2011-2/1/2011 (Operaterassen, Stockholm): quite ok. in the broad, round style - I get oven baked winter apples on the nose. Needs more acidity and structure though.
