  Light gold in color
  Tropical fruity nose. Some banana and papaya. Delicious off the nose.
  Nice acidity. Lots of melon off the first sip. Longish finish. Unctuous and a little waxy. This is fantastic wine for the price.
  
  Miso Sable fish by Britt for dinner.

  We had this with some friends who were Erving about it. Smooth and ripe (but not overripe) fruit flavors. Fun to drink

  Years ago at a tasting room, this wine was described to me as having a note of Captain Crunch on the nose and palate. That is all I think of now when I drink Grenache Blanc.
  
  Bright acidity, med+ body, and lots of citrus and tropical notes. Enjoyable as an aperitif but suitable to a whole range of food pairings.
