Baglio di Pianetto: Ficiligno

Ficiligno. 06. 50% Viognier, 50% Insolia. Sicily

Very delicious. Strong white-flower aroma. med-body.

I'd repurchase. I'm also interested in trying more Insolia (native grape to Sicily)

Angove's Riesling

06 Clare Valley, AU - $12
Vineyard Select

Very dry and crisp with a definite aroma of mustiness. If it wasn't a screwcap, I would have thought it was corked. I'm not sure if it was a fault. I actually read that Australia dry rieslings usually do have a sense of the mustiness. Either way, I wouldn't repurchase.

Zolo Torrontes 06

Mendoza, ~$12

Very refreshing. Exactly what I was looking for. Another great wine from Mendoza. I think the area is Lujan de Cuyo. Not overly fragrant. Repurchase for a nice SB-like wine.
