Burgans Albarino 2008



A tasty Spanish little number that ran us about $10 at the liquor store with the case sale they had going this month - otherwise I think it's definitely less than $12. This one was yummy - tasted sort of like a cross between a Savignon Blanc and a Viognier. There was a nice grapefruit-honey flavor to it, but a subtle one - the citrus was just enough to give it that little bit of tart crispness but it still maintained a flavor profile that was, on the whole, pretty soft and smooth.

We had this with some thai red curry and spicy basil chicken, and it was a lovely accompaniment, but a wine like this is also definitely a good sipping wine whether there's food around or not. A great buy, as far as we were concerned!
