1) 


2) 


3) Glen Manor, Petite Manseng, United States, Virginia, 2017, $35

4) Review from Viviano: Stone fruit and citrus on the nose. Peaches some apricot lemon dry slightly acidic dry light golden color

5) From Wine Folly: There is actually no info on this certain grape in the book so I went to wikipedia. a white wine grape variety that is grown primarily in South West France. It produces the highest quality wine of any grape in the Manseng family. The name is derived from its small, thick skin berries. The grape is often left on the vine till December to produce a late harvest dessert wine. 

6) My review: I drank this with no food. It has a very pear taste with some apple flavors as well. Looked like a chardonnay color so I expected some creaminess but it was very fruity. A little bit of citrus acid in there as well. Overall it was very light and easy to drink however it was a little out of my price range. Overall 8.6/10

It is dry with light citrus and acidity. flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus 5. From wine folly, A unique tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Flavors include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. Made in many different places. pages 165-166 6. I had this wine with no food. The feel in the mouth was very light and dry but not crazy dry. I did not taste a lot of the herbaceous flavors described in the book. I tasted more green apple and citrus flavors. Maybe a little lemon too. I did not enjoy it as much as the other wines I've tasted so far. It said on the bottle to pair this with seafood or light pasta dishes so I will have to try that next time. Overall rating 7.0/10
