Huber
“Hugo” Gruner Veltliner 2007 . . . . . 8.99
87/100 - Our score.
A combination of both citrus and tropical fruits in the nose with a solid core of mineral. Crisp and flavorful with flavors of lemon/lime, apple and pineapple. Summer sippin’ season may be over but this is still a great wine to serve with seafood and salad courses. (Austria)

Hayman & Hill
Interchange 2006 . . . . . 9.79
88/100 - Our score.
A white blend from this Santa Barbara producer that is 47% Chardonnay, 34% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Muscat, 5% Malvasia Bianca, 4% Semillon and 3% Gewurztraminer. We have seen numerous domestic white blends trying to jump on the Conundrum bandwagon, some are very good and some not so good. Hayman Hill has hit a homerun with the Interchange. It has just the right amount of aromatic grape varieties to go with the healthy doses of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Semi-dry with tropical fruit aromas. In the mouth it is all apples, peaches and apricots. It may not have the all of the texture of Conundrum, but, heck, it is less than half the price! (California)

Willow Crest
Riesling 2007 . . . . . 9.99
88/100 - Our score.
A beautifully aromatic dry Riesling with white flowers, pineapple and tangerine in the bouquet. The dry fruit flavors cover the palate and it finishes up with a long-lasting lemony flavor. (Washington)

Au Bon Climat
Pinot Gris /Pinot Blanc 2007 . . . . . 13.99
89/100 - Our score.
The addition of 20% Pinot Blanc adds a pleasant crispness to the usually ripe and round Pinot Gris. Bright flavors of apple and melon that turn slightly creamy on the palate. Crisp lemony finish. Yum. (California)

Thurston Wolfe
“PGV” 2007 . . . . . 14.99
89/100 - Our score.
Here is a tasty blend of 52% Viognier, 43% Pinot Gris and 5% Muscat Blanc. The 2007 PGV from Thurston Wolfe should technically be called PGVM with the addition of 5% Muscat Blanc. This is flavorful juice with the peachy, honeysuckle character of Viognier; apple, melon and peach of Pinot Gris; and the added perfume of Muscat. Rich mouthfeel with gorgeous fruit expression and a long tasty finish. (Washington)

Chateau Ste. Michelle
“Eroica”
Riesling 2007 . . . . . 19.99
91/100 - Our score.
91/100 - Wine Advocate.
95/100 - Connoisseur’s Guide. “Taking its accustomed place at the head of the class as it has in so many past vintages, this latest rendition from Chateau Ste. Michelle and Ernst Loosen is a remarkable wine of impeccable balance and stunning depth. Slightly sweet and buoyed by fine fruity acids, it smells of honeysuckle, white peaches and minerals and follows with long, compact, layered flavors that presently only hint at the richness to come. Top-notch Riesling is capable of great beauty and complexity with age, and, we have no doubt that the greatness lurking here will gradually become more and more evident with time.” (Washington)
