Three FL whites

[brappy]

Castel Grisch Traminette '05
Too bad; this winery cannot seem to break out of this steely, flinty, mineral characteristic that throws all of thier wines out of balance. Besides that undesirable characteristic, there is a touch of pepper and floural fruit on the nose and palate. Did not finish this bottle.

Atwater Vidal Blanc '05
Nose = citrus, peach, and floral aromas.
Palate = matches the nose add some pear.
The wine has a touch of residual sugar but it is well integrated and balanced; great long finish.

Glenora Dry Riesling '05
Nose = citrus mixed with granny smith apple.
Palate = More citrus, red apple, and a touch of kiwi. There is a touch of minerality to this wine; just enough to add complexity and balance out the other flavors. Finish is medium to long.

All of these wines were tasted while on the boat in the bay. So, with all the other natural smells in the air, I did my best to describe the wines as I saw them.
