Treana White – Something for everyone

My wife and I shared this wine with some friends of our last weekend. It was a major hit. My wife’s friend is one of those types who can’t drink red wine… which is a bit of a bummer for those of us who really enjoy reds. Well, this was one wine that seemed to please everyone. My friend (a beer drinker more than a wine drinker) actually asked for more!

So what makes this one so versatile and crowd-pleasing? I think it has to do with its stylistic grab-bag of characteristics. It’s got a fair bit of body, which  makes it good for colder weather BUT it also has good acidity, which prevents it from being flabby. The fruit notes are tending toward ripe peach and pear, always a good match for a Sunday afternoon, in my opinion. And there’s even a bit of minerality in the finish which makes the wine practically sparkle on the palate.

And, we scored a killer deal on the wine from our supplier, so the price is right, too. It’s usually around $26 per bottle (putting it in the Caymus Conundrum range) but thanks to the continuing inability of restaurants to sell wine, we’re able to offer it at $19.99. No, it’s not inexpensive, but neither is it stratospheric… and as I said above, you get a lot of wine for your pair of sawbucks. If you’re interested, you can stop by our store (where it’s stacked near the Sauvignon Blanc aisle) or you can order it online by clicking here.
