Wine Time

2012 Anselmi San Vincenzo White Blend (Veneto, Italy)

A Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc with accents of chive blossom and lemon curd with pineapple and melon.

Probably one of the nicest Italian whites I've tasted.

2011 A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir (Oregon)

This wine is sleek and tightly packed, with delicate layers of cherry and coconut hints.

A delightful Pinot Noir for every day drinking. Great value, when other Pinots rated about the same fetch about $40.

2011 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay (Columbia Valley, Washington)

This Chardonnay is very polished with spicy apple and peach lingering taste.

A great value when you consider other Chardonnays that rate the same are more than twice the price.
