"I get frustrated when people tell me they only drink red wine. Such a waste. "


I couldn't agree more. The right white wine for the right occasion can be very special indeed. One of my favorite things is to sip Sancerre Blanc on a summer evening sitting on the deck. Another nice match for that same occasion would be an un-oaked Chablis or New Zealand Sauv Blanc.

I'm not a big California chardonnay fan unless the oak and malolactic fermentation is kept in check. I prefer a more subtle white in most cases rather than being wacked over the head with an oak branch (or barrel as is the case).

The fine french white dessert wines (sauternes and barsac) are our favorite though. I guess that's why there's close to 100 of them in our cellar. I do wish we could find more Baume de Venise in this country though. Also would like to taste more white bordeaux than I have. I bet that Haut Brion blanc that you mentioned (or similar) is a tasty one...
