  At RockNFish, Manhattan Beach. Green without the aggression of many NZs. Granny Smith apples, sweet pea pod (sugar snap?), creamy texture and energy on the finish. Not my favourite but G enjoyed.

  A lot of wines (Raj's Birthday); 9/25/2015-9/26/2015 (Cleveland Heights): I suspect this was better a year or two ago. Its very good, but doesn't have the raciness I might like to see. Light gold in color. The nose is clean. Minerals and slight peaches. On the palate, this is round. More minerals than fruit. Dry. Solid wine and enjoyable.

  Pale straw yellow color in the glass. Aromas of tart green apple, lemon meringue, slate and guava. The palate brings orange peel, marmalade, guava, mango and more mineral notes. The wine is medium bodied, with high acidity and a medium long, juicy finish. It's a bit different what I would expect from a New World sauvignon blanc (it actually reminds me more of an albarino), but very enjoyable. I really like the mix of different fruit represented - it's like drinking a fruit salad.
