  Lesser Italian White Varietals (Duchman Family Winery Driftwood, Texas): A favorite among the 42 bianchi tasted, this had a lot of citrus notes. Slightly effervescent with a floral, intense nose, its medium acidity was readily apparent. Soft, viscous, and nicely balanced, there were pronounced orange (blood orange for some), grapefruit, and peach flavors for most tasters, as well as canned apricot, mango, pineapple, tangerine, “early green hay” (hey, we’re in central Texas), and tropical flavors. Tasters thought this an excellent summer food wine.

  A truly delightful and personality-laden wine. A little more gold in color than I might have thought given its northern exposure, the nose is positively entrancing: citrus and pineapple with a faintly flowery backdrop that frames the fruit nicely, especially with the mouthwatering acidity clearly present. Initially more body than I would have suspected accompanies the mixed citrus and tropical flavors, ending with a tart, mineral-driven kick, all the more engaging because of the firm but flattering 12% alcohol. Can't wait to try it with tonight's simply grilled halibut. I could drink this from now through the summer without the least regret and with far less of a hangover than I'm accustomed to.
