Bring a big cali syrah (My place, Chicago IL): nose: This was nice and balanced right from the start with some tones of marshmallow, pears, lemon zest and cream tones with a touch of toasted oak.
taste: Fuller bodied with medium acidity. Balanced with nice depth, but slightly hollow on the mid-palate. It's backed up with very good tones of pears, lemon zest, and cream tones along with a touch of citrus.
overall: I didn't expect this to be so nice. It's a really nice Bordeaux blanc blend from the Niagara.

An Evening of Californian Syrah (Keith's House): A nice surprise! Nice tangy fruit with lots of zippy citrus and herbal tones. What a pleasure drinking this amongst a series of high-octane Californian syrah!

Excellent wine. Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromatics of grass and passionfruit are complemented by a rich, waxy Sémillon-driven palette. The oak regimen has given this wine a nice, rounded note. Drinking really well right now.

Nice, really nice. Grassy and passionfruity, nice smokiness. Drink now.

Rich flavour. Nice citrus with oak finish. Good for cream sauce but doesn't overpower scallops.
