WTN: Bottom Feeding At Total Wines....(short/boring)

by TomHill » Mon Dec 04, 2023 12:40 pm

Happened to be in the neighborhood, so dropped into TotalWines:
1. Mauro Sebaste Centobricchi DOC: Langhe Bianco (14%; 100% Viognier; AlfioMoriconiSlctn; SarantyImprts/Stamford/CT) Alba 2022: Light gold color; fairly fragrant Viog/peach/pear light stony/earthy some floral/gardenias bit quiet nose; soft bit tangy/metallic light Viog/peach/pear light stony flavor; med.light Viog finish that mirrors flavor; a rather quiet/low-key white that whispers of Vog; pleasant enough but pushing vapid & rather overpriced for what it is. $30.00 (TW)

2. Ch.Miselle AC: Sauternes (13%; SarantyImprts/WhitePlains/NY) Dulong/Landiras 2020: Med.gld color; rather ripe/figgy/Semillon/grapey simple nose w/ no botrytis; fairly sweet grapey/figgy/ripe Semillon bit tart simple flavor w/ neither botrytis nor Sauternes character; sweetness is about all this wine has going for it. $18.00/hlf (TW)

More kikysloter from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I seldom find anything of interest in TotalWines. Most wines are WineryDirect thry SarantyImprts. I've had most luck w/ their dessert wines. So this was a new wine & a new label so thought I'd give it a shot. Hopes once again crushed on the SarantyImprts shoals. The wine was mostly overripe/late hrvst Semillon w/ neither botrytis nor Sauternes character. Nothing to recommend.
The Langhe attracted me because you seldom find Viognier in Piemonte. A pretty dull & boring wine. Again, the SarantyImprts kiss of death.
