White Wines

Josmeyer Alsace Dream.  The nose is open with prominent stone fruit and mineral notes. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, developing into the acidity and precision of the Riesling. Finish is a dry and generously-structured wine. Try it with white meats, meat or mixed salads.

Single Post Riesling. Complex, smoky and floral nose. Juicy, fruity elegant mouthfeel. Dry and crisp finish with the impulse to take the next sip.

Luc Cholot Chardonnay. Pale yellow color. Floral, peachy nose. Prominent citrus on the palate with hints of minerality.

Landhaus Mayer Gruner Veltliner. Peppery notes mingle with clear grapefruit aromas; the body is well-balanced, offering a pleasant acidity and delicate herbal spiciness; lively on the finish.

Rosés

Landhaus Mayer Rosé (Austria). Medium-bodied wine. Its elegant, spicy aromas confirm the freshness of this wine. The palate is dry, fresh and harmonious with citrus and white strawberry notes that we all love to taste in a rosé. Well-balanced acidity, long and crunchy aftertaste. Very drinkable structure. Pairs well with breaded or grilled meat, beef and chicken dishes.

Fattoria Corzano e Paterno Il Corzanello Rosato Toscana. Full, fragrant nose, ripe aromas of strawberries and pink grapefruit. Light bodied and well balanced. Lingering dry finish.
