Sipping on this now waiting for my gourmet mac and cheese with ham to come out of the oven. This is all fuel for tomorrow's Town Challenge race #3. Straight out of a 55 degree cellar. No refrigeration. It's got an appley, waxy nose. Oily, but not quite unctuous texture. Plenty of sweetness but this wine also has good acidity and a firmness you might not expect from a hot climate white. Also for some reason this wine always evokes popcorn. Maybe just a touch of butter. Orville Reddenbacher Light. I've got some broccoli too. Not in the wine, in the microwave. Must have my greens.
