February 5, 2023 - Vinetasters: 2000 Bordeaux (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Clean and bright with just a modest hint of green. No oak influence with prominent acids on the finish. I guessed that this was some sort of Loire white, especially with its touch of salinity. Not a profound wine, but this would definitely be very nice with some oysters.
