  September 4, 2021 - Fish and Fire by Shane (Chateau Lea, New Jersey): Another excellent bottle of this. Light to medium yellow color. Nose is quite fragrant with a fruity and earthy character along with burnt/melted wax and honeysuckle. Palate is lemon/citrus dominated as well as pear, with some tropical fruit undertones and a long finish, but not extremely so. This was served along side a red wine from Portugal with a grilled octopus dish. This went better than the red with the dish and in fact was one of those nearly magical pairings where the wine really elevated the food to a much more intense and flavorful level. Nearly perfect match with the dish.
