I had a good QPR albarino today - warm for Portland OR, we lunched on
the sidewalk, and with a "frou frou" Ploughman's lunch I had a glass of
'07 Segrel Albarino from Rias Baixas. Nice pineapple and white peach
aromas and flavours and with a surprising about of body - almost like a
pinot blanc. 12 USD at Vinopolis here in town. Abacela, a
central-Southern Oregon winery makes and often nice albarino, but the
current release, while it has a heavenly nose is a bit thin/watery for
the price, for my taste.
