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 aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The color of this wine was light, with a faint yellow tint. The first smell I took of this wine had exploding sensations of honeydew, honeysuckle, and melon, with following hints of sourness.  It had a light taste with slight effervescence and hints of lime.  While drinking this wine, I could only imagine colors of green.

I drank this without food.
