PRA Monte Grande, Soave Classico, Veneto, Italy, 2017, Alc. 13.5% Varietal: Garganega (indigenous), Tasting: Fascinating aromas of straw, dried mangoes and pears with hints of cooked apples, following through to a medium body, driven acidity, good freshness, a long finish of sweet almond and vanilla. Truly multidimensional.  Pairs well: Perfect with shellfish and fish dishes (red tuna, sea bass), ideal with quiche, seafood risotto, meat roasts, apps and snacks. Savour Cheese: Taleggio,  Rating: James Suckling 92 …$ 27.99

Domaine de Villargeau, Les Abeilles, Coteaux du Giennois, Upper Loire, Fr., 2019, Alc.14%

Fresh, floral, offering up a bevy of crushed berry fruit, rose petal and cinnamon, a mid-weight style that emphasizes freshness and energy to balance its natural richness. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent. The tannins are mature with supportive acidity accompanying a bright finish.  This  2019 is an absolute beauty.
