Excellent Value! |

Light straw in color. This wine is an unbelievable value. If you are looking for something between a Sauvignon blanc and a Chardonnay this is it. Crisp, refreshing, without the classic Sauvignon blanc "bite". Rounder and fatter in the mouth but far from the mouthfeel of a Chardonnay. Perfect for warm weather picnic. The wine opened with fresh cut apples, white flowers, orange zest with a hint of vanilla, no oak here but could be from aging in older oak or just the grape itself. Apricot and lemon are apparent underneath the primary aromatics. In the mouth the wine is grapefruit pith, apple, wet stones and a lengthy finish for the price point. A surprisingly complex wine. Drink now.

The Ottella Le Creete is worth every penny and pro |

Gaja makes a great Chardonnay and there are a few other pricey Italian whites out there, but the Ottella Le Creete is worth every penny and probably more.
Hard to characterize, but here is my feeble shot: shows the Veneto terroir, but not like any other low end Veneto whites. Nose subtle, slightly unripe yellow pears, even some lychee, slight notes of lite old tannins that do not appear in the mouth at all, fresh wet river pebbles. Body clean, crisp, great lit minerality, good lite acidity (in the positive sense of acidity) for freshness, the lychee & just ripe yellow pear fruit comes around in the soft rich mouthfeel. Just a great wine to drink either on its own with serious friends or with a pasta/scrambled eggs & white truffles grated over the top.
Always a pleasure to visit your store, get good advice and wines to enjoy at some of the best prices in the country!
