#168 Fateasca Regala

Curtea Regala PodargaSarca Niculitel 2006

Romanian sweet white.  Funky butterscotch nose then semi sweet from start to finish.

#167 Catarrato

La Piazza Sicily 2007

Simply this was a Sauvignon Blanc-lite.

#166 Catawba

Ranier Rose Tomasello Winery "American Table Wine"

This is an American original grape.  Syrupy sweet, tastes of Concord grape jelly.  We added some seltzer to create a spritzer which might be an interesting summer surprise.

#165 Bacchus

Peter Brum 2008 Rheinhessen

A white wine in a red bottle.  Very sweet but flavor fades rapidly and finishes perfectly clean with just a wisp of hazelnut.

#164 Baga

Luis Pato Casta Baca

Very dry, high acidity sparkler.  Not a crowd favorite.

#163 Delaware

Saint Croix Vineyards

White wine tasted like Pixie Sticks, sweet yet drinkable.  "Grapey" but with an artificial grape flavor.

Wine Flood!

In an effort to catch up with my backlog of wine posts the following posts will be short and sweet.  If time permits I will back and fill with photos.  For now though this will have to suffice...
