Ok, now it's my turn. First up, aroma. The strongest scent is jalapeño, followed by a likely sauvignon blanc/reisling mix. However, the jalapeño is not overpowering. There is only a subtle hint of habanero. Sip, and I get the idea that there is some chardonnay in here, too, and maybe I was mistaken about the reisling smell. Again, the jalapeño flavor comes through more strongly than the habanero flavor. For me, this is good. I find habaneros to have an after-taste that I don't like, but I get none of that from this wine. The wine is light and crisp. It has a pleasant burn; not so strong as to deter from enjoying an entire glass or two for the average chile lover. Yet it is still hotter than likely the average midwesterner can handle. I like a crisp white wine and I like jalapeños, so this wine gets a big thumbs up from me.
