Beverage of the Week
Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Blanc Adelaida District 2018
This complex and delicious white is a careful blend of five varietals: 48% Grenache Blanc, 22% Viognier, 12% Marsanne, 13% Roussanne, and 5% Clairette Blanche. I greatly appreciate that the trio of Tablas Creek (white and red Patelin de Tablas, Côtes de Tablas, and Esprit de Tablas) Rhône-inspired blends are not simply an ascending ladder of prices… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Wine Reviews
Troon Vineyard Vermentino Applegate Valley 2018
See the Full BevX Featured Review Brilliant, pale straw color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of grapefruit and green tea with supporting notes of fresh herbs, green tea, apricot stone, and green olive tapenade. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe citrus and orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of green melon, sudachi, and citrus zest. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $25 4.5 Stars/95 points
Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc Adelaida District 2017
See the Full BevX Featured Review Brilliant, medium gold/green color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of wild flowers, honey, and kiwi with supporting notes of citrus zest, jasmine, and green tea. The palate echoes the nose delivering a ripe orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of white peach, citrus zest, apricot stone, and a bees wax note on the finish that mingles with oak. The finish is long and lingering. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a rich but vibrant texture. $45 4.5 Stars/94 points
