Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Viviana – 2009; Llano Estacado; Lubbock, Texas
This lovely white blend
makes a great summer time option to enjoy alone or as a beautiful white for pairing
with dinner. The elegant aging color of
this wine only adds to the visual experience. The notes are still holding up
well and one can detect hints of floral aromas on the nose. Tasting notes
include melons and citrus still present along with some honeysuckle. The
acidity is bright and overall this white wine still has a nice finish. This one pairs well with that fresh salmon,
mild fish dishes and vegetable dishes. Though you may no longer be able to find
this vintage, newer ones should be relatively easy to find and we think white
wine lovers will enjoy this one.
