Buehler White Zinfandel & Crab

On July 11, 2007
WEDNESDAY NIGHT DINNER

WINE
Buehler White Zinfandel 2005 (California)
This white Zin is drier and less fruity than the Beringer we reviewed on July 5. It is well integrated, with mild notes of Zinfandel’s signature tastes – blackberries, spice – but very smooth and light. No oak or tannins, obviously, yet a little acidity. A Yes wine. $8 retail in our area.

DINNER
Puerto Rican Crab, with fried Plantains on the side.
