This Tuesday Tasting (Mar 6), we try three white varietals that offer a range of flavors. Featuring:
- Shooting Star Aligote, Washington – Originating from Eastern Europe, this grape makes for a fragrant, full-bodied white fermented in oak barrels for rich spicy flavors, touches of floral notes and a clean finish of citrus and mineral. $14 btl, $6 btg
- Les Vignerons de Florensac Picpoul de Pinet, France – Grown along the French Mediterranean, the Picpoul grape can be either red or white, but the Pinet is a young, zesty white tasting of lemon, green apple and herbs. $11 btl, $6 btg
- Fattoria Laila Verdicchio, Italy – One of central Italy’s classic white grapes, this wine shows off the grape’s quintessential smells of yellow spring flowers with a creamy peach and lemon flavor balanced by a touch of almond and sea salt. $13 btl, $6 btg
