Crazy Châteauneuf with Ross, Ali, Jeff and Sara (Seattle, WA, USA): Unusually ripe, I never would have picked this as Sauvignon Blanc. The nose showed floral elements and white pepper with just a hint of grassiness. On the palate this was far sweeter than I expected, perhaps even a bit cloying. Quite interesting though. (As it turned out, this was actually a pretty crazy late harvest wine, not a starter...)
