  CANADIAN THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!
  *see previous notes
  
  The drinking window suggests this wine should be consumed by the end of this year. I think it has at least a couple more years to go. With that note, I dont think it will get much better.
  
  Its a wonderful full bodied somewhat fruity white, with decent structure and a medium finish. Stone fruit, gooseberry, and melon permeate this wine. Very good stuff for the price and a little different than your typical french white. Worth buying.
  
  Smoked a La Aurora Emerald

  Yellow, fuller bodied, high ABV
  Chalky, gooseberry, yellow stone fruit, wet paper, slate
  Great acidity, rounder characteristics, medium plus finish, powerful
  
  A great wine for sipping or with food. Stellar bottle. Fairly priced.
  Still has a couple years left of life, although probably drinking in its prime.
