This was very interesting and a great pairing really helped save a somewhat tired wine from seeming too old. Nose of orange blossom, grapefruit rind, violet, poached pear, honeysuckle, and almond puree. Viscous palate with a distinct orange oil note that shined over the honeyed, nutty character of the wine. Medium acidity and decent length, this was really aided by the medium spicy butter chicken we had with jasmine rice, which had creamy and spicy notes to offset the honeyed …

White flowers, vanilla, honey, and a hint of stone fruit on the nose. More vanilla with citrus notes on the palate. Ok finish.

Not sure what to expect but golden color with a slightly oily mouth feel kind of a red wine disguised as a white.

I've tasted Tardieu-Laurent Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and fell in love—the 2008 Hermitage blanc sports a nose of buttercream frosting, soft orchard fruits, orange marmalade and toasted hazelnuts. Round, silky and decadent, it's showing nicely now. There is a delicious interplay of oak and acid, fruit and toasted but notes. We served this with pan seared scallops and the roasted halibut encrusted with nuts and herbs. Sumptuous and lovely.

On the oaky side with not much distinct characteristic. Not unlike an oaky Cali Chard.

PnP 750ml; Nose and palate with hints of chlorine. Beyond that, it had some decent qualities. Not sure why the chlorine smell so no rating at this time. Will try another bottle soon.

CT Seattle Offline II (Amaroso Room @ Bellevue Wine Storage) : This is a wine for the true oak lovers - tasted more like a California Chardonnay than old world, but that could just be my naivete on French whites speaking. Hard for me to really pick other flavors as the oak was tough to get past. Not our style at all and we ranked it a distant 6 out of the 6 wines. Broader CT group did not agree …
