TASTING NOTES:
“This delicious Albariño has a beautiful white gold shimmery hue as you swirl it in your glass. It has deep and intense aromas of tropical fruit, white peach skin, Granny Smith apple, and zesty orange peel. Its dramatic citrus flavors that lead into secondary flavors of underripe pineapple, banana, lychee, and orange liqueur. It has a long and briny finish that leaves you wanting another sip.” (AbV 12%)

BARRELS: 5 months in stainless steel.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
OshKosh B’gosh. One of those names that just sticks with you. Do you know what they were originally named? Grove Manufacturing Company. Back in 1895. Very boring, like most business names that came before the 20th century got into full swing. So what’s the deal with OshKosh B’gosh? Where did that come from? Well, I forgot that Oshkosh exists. I mean, I remembered the name from somewhere else, vaguely. I just had this sense that there was some place in the world called Oshkosh. And there is! Oshkosh, Wisconsin. As we have previously encountered with interestingly-named American cities, it is yet another anglicization of a native word. In Ojibwa, it means claw. B’gosh has nothing to do with that. Instead, it was the punchline of a vaudeville routine. Because no matter when or where you are, OshKosh B’gosh sounds amusing.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended): Sea Bass with Lemon-Wine sauce.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option): Cheese, in honor of Wisconsin, I guess.
