Nora Albarino 2002 (Spain)

Price - $14.49 Size - 750 mL- Spanish Wine Tasting held on Saturday June 4, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Mike "Professor" Klaus.

The albarino grape is related to riesling, but there is some debate as to where each was planted first. Has light bubbles and is a light gold color with medium legs. Very light nose with the slightest hint of minerals. Has light flavors with some flint flavors. Gets a little sour in the middle. It has a short clean finish which is the highlight of this wine. This wine is normally paired with the catch of the day. Grade: C+
