The last of wines from the Jug Shop's tasting "Weird Ass Whites Under $20." Sylvaner is a relatively common varietal in Central Europe but doesn't often make it to the New World bottled on its own without being blended. The wiki says that Sylvaner is an ancient grape and is a cross of Traminer and the "hunnic." This one comes from Santa Barbara, California. Of all the "Weird Ass Whites," this was the only one I have had previously. It has a sweet noes but is quite dry on the finish. I think that's typical of whites from Alsace. Tasty, and a deal at only $12.
Hi Dave,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your write-ups on the wines from the Weird-Assed Whites tasting! I can't remember if you're an iPhoner or not. If so, would you email me at info@jugshop.com? We're working with some really cool peeps developing an app for iPhone that you might be interested in test driving.
Cheers!
