• 2012 Clinton Vineyards Seyval Blanc Victory White - USA, New York, Hudson River (11/8/2016)
  A vibrant wine that has high expectations, but ends up falling just short. A worldly palate with a feminine touch, this wants to excite me, and I was totally into it as I pulled the cork. As I tasted it, I realized that it wasn't going to bring me where I wanted to go. The structure is there, as is the solid winemaking. This would have been a spectacular wine had it been allowed to show its true potential. Unfortunately it was cut short by a bitterness and a desire to go back to the old days before femininity was allow to display its greatness. I will continue to enjoy the wine, even though I know that this is the last hurrah of this bottle. It did well for the effort, unfortunately expectations were set entirely too high. (84 pts.)

Same experience here, Tim.

There was a winery in eastern Connecticut that produced a halfway decent Seyval Blanc for many years.
I used to buy their wine in the early '80s but they've been gone for some time now.

Nicely done Tim. But I disagree on the score. Should be 228 points.
