			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I heard back from the fine folks at J. Emerson, and here&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to be tasting (these are their comments, not mine):</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Do Ferreiro Albarino 2006</strong> (Rias Baixas, Spain): Hands down, one of my favorite Albarinos on the planet. Organic. $26.95</li>
<li><strong>Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc 2006</strong> (Alsace, France): Gorgeous traditional-style blend of 4 white grapes. Biodynamic. $16.95</li>
<li><strong>La Raia Gavi 2008 </strong>(Piedmonte, Italy): A rich and complex white from the Cortese grape from Piedmont. Biodynamic. $18.95</li>
<li><strong>Clos du Tue-Boeuf &#8220;Frileuse&#8221; Cheverny Blanc 2007</strong> (Touraine, France): An unusual, unfiltered blend of Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay from the Loire Valley. Idosyncratic and delicious. Organic. $13.95</li>
<li><strong>Fritsch &#8220;Windspiel&#8221; Riesling 2008</strong> (Niederosterreich, Austria): Super-dry and very crisp Riesling from Austria&#8211;a perfect summertime quaff. Organic. $14.95</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;m excited for the Albarino, a wonderful wine that I rarely drink &#8212; the price is usually steep, and Paul and I don&#8217;t eat a ton of shellfish, often the happiest pairing for the grape. Also psyched for the Cheverny, which is pretty offbeat. I&#8217;ve also asked them to throw in an off-dry German Riesling so I can get people thinking about <a title="dry vs. sweet wine" href="http://www.spinthebottleny.com/spin-the-basics/the-fab-four" target="_self">dry vs. sweet wine</a>. More on all of this later when I post our tasting notes.</p>
