Wine By Nine

White Wine by Dry Creek Vineyard from Sonoma County, California. Crafted in the traditional Loire Valley style, Dry Creek's Chenin Blanc is stainless steel fermented to preserve the fresh tropical aromas and bright acidity that have become hallmarks of this wine. At first swirl, the wine displays notes of melon, peach, and lemon peel. On the palate, crisp acidity is balanced with juicy tropical fruit flavors and additional hints of honeysuckle and rose petal. The finish is precise and harmonious with wonderful intensity and flavor - a perfect match with fresh shucked oysters or spicy Thai food.

White Wine by Vinum Cellars from California. Glinty white gold color in the glass. Explosive nose of fresh cut Seckel Pear, raw honey, elderflowers, fresh vanilla beans and white spices. Sappy and luscious palate, with waves of ripe exotic fruits, notably pineapple, baked quince, wild limes, as well as honeycomb, almond oil and a nervy minerality. Finished totally dry, the zesty acidity makes it a natural with the freshest seafood, simply prepared. A great brunch or bistro wine, and a wonder with hard-to-pair foods like asparagus and artichokes.
