  Sunday at Ken's; 7/14/2013-7/15/2013: Much better than a prior bottle, not sure why. This one was classic (in a good way) Cal Sauv Blanc. The nose is slightly grassy, peaches, fresh country air, with a mineral undertone. On the palate, the nose carries thru nicely. Slick texture which is nice. Slightly oily. Good balance. Refreshing and interesting on a hot summer day.

  Tropical with much more wood notes than I recall. I loved prior bottles, but it seems to be falling out of it's sweet spot for me.

  Still very nice, but not quite as fresh and lively as it was last summer. I think this is a SB that is best to drink in its first year after release.

  A bunch of wine with non-Geeks: Light silvery gold in color. The nose has some minerals, a bit of hay and some lemons. A bit reticent. On the palate, this is smooth and works well with food. Less so as a cocktail as it is not expressive in style. More "Loire"-like in style. That said, this is a very nice wine and the crowd enjoyed it.

  Citrus, pineapple on the nose, medium bodied. Not too grassy, well balanced.
