  Clonakilla Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend Canberra District Blanc 2011

  Snoothrank:

  $25 direct from winery. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that was barrel fermented on lees. Very pale lemon colour. Clean youthful aromas of lime blossom, cut grass and passionfruit. Dry, full-bodied white wine with lots of vibrant acidity. Waves of salivating passionfruit and lemon flavours. This is great with antipasto. Drink now. 91/100. Read More

  Re-Posted by Sonata Wine:Greek wines Rule!OK, let's start with Santorini.  First off, the island is breathtakingly beautiful, situated in the Southern Aegean Sea.  Single-story, cubical pure white houses adorn the island, peering out over the blue sea, with black pumice and ash providing the landscape.  The island is actually the remains of ...

  Soo... based on some other threads, the topic of Burgundies vs. CA pinots has arisen.  I, being a French virgin, would love to hear more about burgundies.  They are NOT my expertise at all... and to be honest, I have only tasted one, and it ended up being oxidized (sommelier agreed). My expertise tends to lie with Northern California coastal pin...
