Year: 2008
Price: $5.00 (on sale at Kroger)

Winemakers Notes: "Lemony yellow color with elegant greenish tones. Intense aromas of mainly apple and pineapple with a light citrus background. Fresh and zesty in the mouth with a light acidity and balance. The fruity taste persists in the mouth."
My Notes: I really, really enjoyed this wine! Although I have dabbled more with red wine while taking this class, white wines like this one remind me of why Im such a big white wine drinker. I was hesitant at first since I saw it on the sale rack at Kroger for $5.00, but boy was a pleasantly surprised. It was very crisp with a little tangy taste, but it settled very nicely on the tongue. You can definitely taste and smell the apple and the citrus background but they complimented each other very well. I would love to try this with a nice light chicken dish or a good piece of white fish. Definitely recommend to friends who like white wine on a budget.
