When you see Albarino on the label you automatically think Spain. I was surprised when Mike Andrews brought this out in his tasting room. He told me it was one of the most popular wines he had and sold a ton of it out of his shop. When he served it to me, it was quite cold so I had trouble extracting anything except sugar cane. I took one home, warmed it up and felt the magic of Mike Andrews. This has an incredible nose of tropical fruits... mangos, papaya, mandarin orange. The palate is definitely fruit forward with a sweetness that will make it a nice match with Thanksgiving fare. The sweetness is quite natural however, like freshly squeezed mandarin oranges blended with ripe peaches and nectarines. Can you imagine how good this will be with turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and fruit salad! I am getting the shivers just thinking about it. Needless to say, this wine is also quite excellent solo. Do not miss out on a chance to try this superb Washington Albarino... If not now at least on the fourth Thursday of November.  90 points  ( Remember, do not drink this one too cold... you will lose a lot of the magic!)
