2004 Valley Of The Moon Pinot Blanc
(2006-11-19 06:02:15 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Valley Of The Moon Pinot Blanc 90/100

This was a good wine. It was lighter in color than a pinot grigio. It is considered a dry, white wine, but I'd argue that it's a little sweeter than a pinot grigio.

This was an excellent chardonnay. It was the perfect blend of oakiness and fruit.

2005 Bridgeview Blue Moon 2005 Riesling

This was a good wine. This is a dry riesling, so if you like the typical sweeter riesling, this is not the wine for you. I would say this wine is more like a pinot grigio than a riesling. Fruity and crisp, I detected flavors of apple and maybe grapefruit.

2003 Fortant Chardonnay

I liked this wine, and if I didn't know the varietal, I would have given it 4 stars. However, this wine did not taste like a chardonnay. It tasted more like a pinot grigio or a mixture between a pinot and a chardonnay. Again, this was a good wine, but if you're looking for your typical full-flavored chardonnay, I would not recommend it.

2005 Cavit Collection 2005 Pinot Grigio

This was pretty good. Floral and fruit scents are present. The wine is dry, light-bodied, and crisp.

2004 Lake Chalice Merlot

I'm usually not a fan of red wine, but I actually liked this one. It was light-bodied and had an oaky flavor. I mainly detected cherry and plum flavors.

2005 Casa Silva Sauvignon Blanc
(2006-07-09 21:58:01 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Casa Silva Sauvignon Blanc 82/100

I didn't really like this wine, but to be fair, I don't really care for Sauvignon Blancs in general. I liked the initial taste of this wine, and I detected flavors of peach and grapefruit, but it had a very bad aftertaste. It was also not as herbaceous as a typcial sauvignon blanc.
