Wine Review: This white gold wine opens with a light banana and apricot like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is round, creamy, has mild citrus like flavors. The finish is dry and subtle. The panel would pair this wine with pork with calvados or chicken, broccoli with a cream sauce. Enjoy – KWGTP

Your comments on this wine:





Clinking Glasses Before Tasting Wine: Originates from medieval times. Milk was often spoiled, water was often polluted. Wine was usually safe. The host would drink the wine first and then clink glasses with guests to show the wine was good and safe for drinking.
