Pete&Annie's Profile

3.5/5. Solid. Lots of rice flavor. Forgettable so probably don’t need to revisit this specific bottle.

4.5/5.0 Very balanced dry and acidity. Complex. Hints of barley/earthy on the finish. Pretty great, but pricey so might not be reasonable at a restaurant (bought for $125 at going out of business sake, can be over $200 at store, so ? At restaurant)
