  Alpine wines (Dino's Grotto - Washington, DC): Well, this was a pleasant surprise. At first it smelled quite “neutral” but with air and warmth it opened up to show peaches, lemon crème, airy/floral notes. Nice depth of texture, a waxy feel but bright acidity. Dusty mineral and chalk notes with hay, honey. Pleasantly subtle and nuanced.

  8/24/2018 - HandmadeHomemade Likes this wine:

  I bought this after reading "Godforsaken Grapes", hoping it was everything the author said it would be- simple and indifferent- and it was. The wine pours a hazy pale straw, subdued aromas of white grape juice, apple skins, and a light minerality. Flavors are subdued, the wine has a pleasant salinity that adds to a chalky feel to the wine. All in all, it's very interesting in that I am excited to drink such a boring wine. A great wine to have all by itself before a meal or with very light appetizers.
