  Seems somewhat soft, yet the acidity is okay. A simple quaffer, and maybe needed to be a bit colder.

  "Saline" applies to many wines I like, but none more so than this 100% jacquère. There's not a lot of aroma, but the palate sparkles with salt and acid. It's hard to imagine a more refreshing still wine. It's a shame this is bottled under unreliable synthetic cork instead of screwcap, not that I think it would age. Very Good+.

  This just rocks for the price and is a great example of why I like to use my everyday buys to try different things. Sure, I could get some large production Sauv Blanc, but... come on.
  
  The nose is pear and peppermint. The palate follows through, more on the pear than the peppermint. The mouthfeel is surprisingly full with a nice texture and finish. Will this age? Is it complex? Come on, it's $12. I'm inclined to stuff some bottles in the cellar and see what they do in 3-5 years, but even if I don't, it's a fun wine that tastes good and is different. This is yet another example of why I shop in the European aisles of wine shops... Shipped 6000 miles and through 3 tiers of distribution, and I get something cool for a ten dollar bill plus some change.
  
  Oh and you all got the grape variety as Jacquere, right?
