An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2002 René Muré Pinot Blanc Tradition (Alsace)
A good, fleshy, but simple wine.  Medium-to-darkish gold color.  Rich but simple aromas of tangerines and straw, with a slight whiff of peach underneath.  Mouthfilling at first, with an oilier texture than usual for a Pinot Blanc (texturally, it feels more like a Pinot Gris), but fades quickly on the palate.  85.  About $14 at Richard's on San Felipe.
