Stanley Banquet Wine Selection "Blanc" 2009/05/31

2008 Crios de Susan Balbo Torrontes, Argentina. $n/a. **½
Torrontes is the variety. fragrant, pungent, channel #5, honeysuckle, too feminine for me - so - ws

2006 Monmousseau, Vouray. $n/a. *
off dry, pineapple, lime, hint of cliantro, tired feeling, too sweet - so - ws

2006 Maison Louis Latour, Grand Ardeche. $7. ***
From Trader Joe's. My favorite house white. Pure chardonnay from France. dry, wheat, nutty, butter, elegant, finish short but keep you thinking about it. Enigmatic. - so - ws

2008 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough. $13. ***½
celery, lime, meyer lemon, very flavorful, a bit grassy may not be liked by all - so - ws

2006 Luna Pinot Grigio, Napa. $12. ***
Nice label. subtle, grapefruit, barley, pleasant - so - ws

2006 Kalinda Niersteiner Riesling, Rheinhessen. $10. ****
K&L club wine... seems like sold out. concentrated, peach, smoke, orange, apricot, phenomenol, very complex - so - ws
