Shop review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My review: After a class lecture about how it is impossible to make wine from bananas, it was coincidental that the first wine I tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg smelled somewhat like banana. It did not have a banana taste however, and instead had more of a pear taste. The aftertaste was stranger still, and it made my mouth dry, which was something I was not expecting from a white wine. I doubt I would ever order a glass of this.
