| Verdict | Alcohol-removed California white that drinks as thin soft-drink fruit: artificial tropical sweetness, watery middle, negligible structure. | White flowers, pear, and sharp citrus on the nose; guava and pink grapefruit on a crisp, saline palate that lingers instead of collapsing into sugar. | Sea Monster's Tidal Wave White is a dealcoholized California white blend using low-temperature spinning cone vacuum distillation: $13-15 retail. | A soft, lightly sweet white blend led by green apple, pear, and white grape, with moderate acidity and a clean, short finish. |

| Likeness | Low: soft-drink tropical more than white blend; almost no mid-palate or acid spine. | Very good: floral citrus and mineral tension read as a serious white blend, not flavored water. | A clean California white in a light frame. Citrus, green apple, and a small floral lift stay intact, and the close is crisp rather than juicy. The likeness is the aroma. The body is the limit. | Fruit suggests white wine, but the light body and simple palate give it little structure or depth. |
