Sokol Blosser "Evolution"
I tried an excellent white table wine from the Sokol Blosser Winery, located in the Willamette Valley, last week. The wine is called "Evolution", and I believe it's already garnered considerable press as well as many favourable reviews. The amazing thing about this one is its composition; it's produced from 9 different grape varieties - Pinot Gris, Riesling, Muller-Thurgau, Semillon, Gewurztraminer, Muscat Canelli, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner - and it works! Costs roughly $15US and goes for around $22CDN in my neck of the woods. Far from coming across as a jumbled juxtaposition of tastes, "Evolution" manages to ride that fine edge between lush sweetness and crisp acidic dryness. I discern a lovely banana element toward the finish, likely from the contribution of Semillon.
If you haven't tried this one yet, you may want to give it a go.
