Wines Mentioned
Fulkerson Winery

Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard
2018 Standing Stone Vineyard Blanc de Blanc
Seneca Lake | United States
It is lively and bright with a sophisticated and spectacular mousse and mouthfeel.
Domaine Sigalas
2020 Barrel Assyrtiko
Santorini | Greece
A tightly structured, concentrated, dry white. Lots of vanilla, citrus, pineapple and melon wrapped in a mineral, salty acidity. This wine, with the overlay of oak, seems much bigger than the big regular Santorini ...the richness seems matched by the wine's depth and overall demeanor. This rolls around the mouth and coats the palate nicely.
Cantine Colosi
2019 Nero d'Avola
Sicilia | Sicilia
Soft and round on the palate.
