2017 Vincent Pinot Gris McMinnville
Light orange-y red. Smells like pinot noir, drinks like a light Villages gamay, yet it's neither. A little genius of a wine. He's just released the '18, may have to indulge.
2017 Domaine de la Denante Saint Véran Les Maillettes Chardonnay
Big aromatic nose of stone fruit with a sharp and beguiling floral note not typical to chardonnay. Mouthfilling, pineapple flavors with slatey minerality. Sexy and serious all at once. So happy I bought a case.
2018 LaStella Rosato LaStellina Okanagan Valley Merlot
Bill Spohn popped this one open the other night. Bright, tangier than you'd expect from Merlot, and balanced; notes of watermelon and strawberry. Excellent.
