| 75 | | | 94 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Talk about a wine the fairly breathes seafood, makes you feel an ocean breeze and takes you on a walk on the beach after a seafood supper. A sense of place is rarely this palpable in a bottle of wine, but this interpretation of the Grechetto grape does all that. A medium-bodied dry white wine with a greenish yellow straw color, the wine introduces the nose to a refined fruit aroma that promises lively fruit flavors. The palate comes alive with the evolved fruit flavors laced with a stony minerality and backed up by firm acidity. Freshness and a clean, long finish keep one coming back for more. Serve moderately cool as excessive cold will kill the fruit flavors, around 50-55ºF/10-13ºC, and use medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: Did we say seafood? And more seafood. Oysters with lemon (not cocktail sauce); grilled head-on shrimp with garlic, olive oil, sea salt and a splash or two of the wine or lemon; mussels steamed with garlic, herbs and white wine or beer; scallop ceviche with tomato and fresh herbs; crab legs with drawn butter; sautéed soft-shell crabs; not bad either with a chicken breast roasted atop a bed of sliced onions and garlic.
