We played this great game where vials of aromas were passed around the room and then a multiple choice question was asked about what aroma was in the vial.  It was really hard to believe that the whole room of "Wine Professionals" had difficulty agreeing on whether it was lemon, lime or grapefruit but I have to admit I was questioning myself as well. 

We are happy that summer is finally here!  We are seeing that our guests are thirsty for white wine as usual this time of year and while a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay are lovely choices we also like to recommend a couple of not so mainstream alternatives.  Two of the team's favorites are a beautiful Chenin Blanc - Viognier blend by Pine Ridge and a crisp and refreshing Albarino by Laxas.  In our opinion for summer we are not sure we would rather have another grape besides the very popular Spanish Albarino.  I personally have never tried one I didn't love.
