Wine: Montinore Estate Whites

Sean and I enjoyed some of this bio-dynamic wine last Thursday with a roasted chicken dinner and both thought it was pretty impressive. Bing a big fan of Oregon wines, I thought I would give them a try. The first bottle we tried was their Muller-Thurgau (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/muller-thurgau ), which is a white that closely resembles a Riesling, and is a cross between Riesling and Silvaner. The second was a little more dry and complex which paired better with our dinner. Their Borealis which is tagged as 'northern whites' is a nice blend of 45% Muller-Thurgau, 24% Gerwurztraminer, 18% Pinot Gris and 13% Riesling. Here is their website: http://www.montinore.com/wines.php

  1. That was my first ever Muller and certainly my first Muller blend. I'll be back for more.
