Opens out of the glass with aromas of lemon blossom and papaya, with hints of melon and tropical fruits. On the palate, a racy acidity finds harmony with flavors of grapefruit, kiwi, lime, and a kiss of honeydew melon. An exceptionally balanced, pleasing bottle of Sauv Blanc that will feature effortlessly at the dinner table and cocktail parties alike, and an ideal pairing with white meats, seafood, or any dish with green herbs.

As I’ve mentioned, my favorite opportunity buys are shiners – bottles of wine that have no label. Some folks just happen to have a little extra in their cellars, and I’m happy to scoop them up when I can get them for a hot price.
