Wine Review: This dry white blend of Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Albarino, made on Cape Cod, Massachusetts is a pale straw color with aromas of poached pear, green melon, quince, white pepper, and sea breeze. On the palate, it is medium-minus bodied with zippy medium-plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, fresh, crisp, and is easy drinking. There are flavors of Bosc pear, lime zest, Galia melon, saline, and herbal tea along with notes of white peach and white pepper and a hint of ash. The finish is refreshing and long. Serve chilled on your deck overlooking Cape Cod Bay with a basket of fried clams. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Bright, fresh dry white wine that has notes of white peach, pear, and citrus. It is a blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Albarino grapes.

The fall is a perfect time to plan a visit to Virginia Wine country. Ken and the KWG Tasting Panel have been covering the winning wines from the Virginia Governor’s Cup for years. Recently, our coverage has expanded beyond just the Governor’s Cup winners. Ken has been so impressed with Virginia wines that Theresa and he visited some wineries in the Charlottesville region in October of 2024. We highly recommend that you check out the six Virginia wineries in this post. We will start from the south near Charlottesville in the Monticello AVA and make our way north. Read This Blog Post
