Winter in Wineland; 1/14/2017-1/20/2017 (Sonoma & Napa): I'm sure this wine benefitted greatly from being paired with this little ravioli that were filled with salty pears in a cheese sauce and covered in truffles. That dish was just spectacular, but this wine worked perfectly with it. It pulled out the sweet in the pears and didn't let the salt dominate. Heightened the truffle flavor. Came across as a bit more crisp than the earlier note suggested,but that could be because the cheese sauce was this lovely rich fonduta which the wine easily cut through. One of my most favorite wine and food pairings I've ever tried.

Mike's Cabernet Event (Prior Lake, MN): A simple wine with apple, lemon, subtle spice and floral notes. Decant acidity. Drink now.

Heavy on fruit, light on minerality, but an enjoyable summer evening white.
