Hid-In-Pines Review: St. Pepin White Wine
As many of you know one of our sponsors here at Wine Making Talk is the Hid-In-Pines Vineyard owned and operated by none other than one of our esteemed admins Richard Lamoy. I had the distinct pleasure of opening a bottle last night of his St. Pepin White Wine with dinner. I had heard of St. Pepin before via Rich and this website and was excited to see what this wine had to offer. I must say that it did not disappoint!
When opened the wine has an immediate bouquet much like that of a Riesling with notes of Apple and Pear. What I was not expecting was the wonderful melody of flavors when the wine hit my mouth! Suddenly it was like a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in the glass with an explosion of citrus and lemongrass.
We had this wine paired with a spicy asian dish. The crispness along with the just perfect amount of residual sweetness in the wine went together in a perfect harmony throughout the entire meal.
This wine will pair very well with cheeses, seafood, chicken dishes and will make a fantastic wine to sip on all by itself on a warm Summer evening out on the back patio as the sun goes down and the stars come out.
Congrats Rich you knocked this one out of the park! I cant wait to try your Marquette next!
Cheers!

Thanks Mike. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is a fairly complex white wine, especially for a hybrid. It better do well, I have a lot of it coming on in the next little while.

Not sure this was one of the wines I tried but Im almost positive it was and was well enjoyed. Ive also had the pleasure of meeting him in person and the pleasure was all mine! Especially the pleasure of driving back home with 18 Black Currant bushes!!! LOL I have to check my cellar now to see if by any chance I have another bottle of your stuff down there Rich, Cant let any of that go to waste!

I'm not surprised at all. I have not tried any of Rich's wine but I'm sure they're awesome.

Rich,
Your Niagara and Catawba wines look good and with you being able to ship to Illinois, is there a minimum order, or could I order two bottles for starters?
