A white wine from Germany - a Grüner Silvaner Trocken - is keeping me company this evening.

Starbucks Cocoa & Honey with Cream Cold Brew Coffee

As a point of disinterested information: Much though I adore my coffee (and I do), coffee ranks as neither wine nor beer.

Perhaps you should consider posting this in the espresso enthusiasts (or coffee) thread.

Excellent, sweet, easy to drink.

Local cave, as usual.

correct. it's actually a late harvest sauv blanc.

correct. it's actually a late harvest sauv blanc.

Interesting. I like a good sauv blanc. I had a read through about the corta. Apparently it's gaining traction globally. It makes a lot of sense to me. Easier to ship and less likely to topple over in a store.

If it is a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc, and in a bottle with such a shape (and smaller size), I'd imagine that it is possibly a dessert wine, or a somewhat sweet wine.

Fascinating.

Sipping an elegant white wine from Italy:Albaco Orvieto Classico Superiore.

Bottle of Tempier Rose. Well aware it's still morning.

Have some nice beer being chilled. Several bottles of good cava. Hopefully the grill doesn't spit hot burning wood at me today should another tremor hit.

Some Rosato Terre di Chieti IGT (2017). 12%.

An Italian white wine: Sergio Barale - Langhe - Chardonnay - Bussia 2015.

An exceedingly elegant white wine from Burgundy; Chablis 1er Cru.

This one is a dessert wine, very sweet. I’m not a fan, bought it as a gift for someone. If I drink white, I generally prefer sauv blanc and typically a Sancerre.

Had this with a good steak the other night.
