Rather full bodied. Ripe melon, apple and pear. Some underlying acidity but definitely on the rounder side. With Halibut the first night, there was a distinct sweetness that was accentuated. But with spinach salad the following day, no sweetness and really played up the acidity.

Bargins vs. Big Boys (Farpointe Cellar): Peach and lemon on the nose, with cantaloupe and stone underneath. Rich and viscous on the palate, with loads of minerals and citrus. It finishes with melon and a little tropical fruit.

Quite light and delicate. Tasted after a beautiful Varner B-Block Chardonnay, so it might have suffered by comparison.

Floral, pear-dominated, slightly spicy pinot grigio. Not much follow though, but elegant and clean. Refreshing. Nice simple summer drinking.

Pear and stoniness. Went well enough with a couple of Italian chicken dishes, but seemed too clipped.
