Beer-wine

Donati Malvasia 2007

Very well could be Orange wine. As a poster on Wine Disorder said, it does have a beer-ish quality to it, but maybe more towards a dry Bordelet Cider that is on the older side. At first, I was just OK with it, but it got better for being in the glass. I really enjoyed my two glasses with a salad and grilled bone in pork chop. Worth checking out not just for the curiosity but for the pleasure. I really like all the wines I've had from Donati and they all seem to do well with food.

We also thought it was beer-like, and enjoyed it more once we had put it into that category.

Yup, this can definitely lambic. Love the dolce more than the dry, but both are great when they are on.

I'm with Lyle.

WTF?

Where will I get all of my cynical, passive-aggressive wine musings from?

abandoning your blog just leaves the door open even wider for Lyle to take over the entire world of wine blogging. be afraid.
