During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind. My guess here was Alsatian or German pinot Gris. This was fairly oily on the palate. Small bit of petrol. Some guessed Sauv Blanc, but it wasn’t tart or acidic enough in my mind. Unique.

Grenache blanc/Viognier blend with a touch of Marsanne/Rousanne. Can smell the bouquet from the table top. White everything - lots of flowers and perfume, peaches, nectarine, slate and wet stone. Nice work from the Rhone Rangers!

Peach blossom, floral, almost honeyed, gardenias, medium bodied, round(malo), medium acid. Really nice. Lower acid is acceptable for me since they dry farm and I would imagine, don’t add acid.

This exuberant, eclectic blend of white Rhône varieties delivers ripe melon and pit fruit qualities along with energizing floral, mineral and spice flourishes. It shows silky texture, sharp delineation and impressive, floral-driven persistence. Pair it with rich grilled seafood dishes. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, January 2020)

This wine gives a pale golden color in the glass. The nose is more subdued than I expected. There is lemon, mango, almond, and minerality available to smell. The palate is more forceful, and a delight besides. Citrus minerals are joined by salinity and a racy acidity, which begs for a food pairing. Seafood is a natural pairing choice, but I loved it with dolmas and hummus.

Started over the hill but moderately improved. Lemon, grass and balanced.

Beautiful, aromatic white Rhone style blend from Paso Robles. A lot of minerality, a little fresh cut grass, white pepper, Unripened pear. Good body with a little viscosity. Dry finish with that white pepper hangin on for one last ride. Definitely a keeper. Definitely worth $17. Pairing with hot dogs wasn't a failure but not an ideal pairing. Should NOT be drunk ice cold as you will get no flavors Outta this. Body really comes through at room temp.
