#100 Furmint from Limerick Lane

Limerick Lane Furmint is our official wine #100. The little guy is home and the first visitors have trickled in as we have finally gotten over our colds. Of course this gives me an excuse to sneak in a few more quest wines. In this case this wine has been beckoning to be opened for many months now.

Furmint is the principal grape of the famous Tokaji dessert wines from Hungary. This one is made in California by an excellent Zinfandel producer. Hint of apples on the nose. Sweet on the palate but not at all cloying. Nice warm finish. The winery recommends serving this with non-sweet deserts. Now our quest has reached a milestone but it has not reached its conclusion!
