Wine critic review: "Middle of the road is probably the best way to describe this wine. There aren’t a lot of aromas, though some floral notes came through. In the mouth it’s not particularly full bodied, but neither is it particularly big on the acid and citrus, though it was good and crisp. If I was making a wine for somebody that wanted something less rounded than a Chardonnay but wanted less citrus than a Sauvignon Blanc, this is probably the wine I would make.
The wine paired well enough with the food, but it didn’t exactly enhance, nor was enhanced, by the food. As a crisp white wine to sip on while sitting on a deck in warm weather when you’re looking for something refreshing that you don’t have to think too much about you’ll do well with this wine"

My review: This my first wine at my first wine tasting every and I really enjoyed it. The pear and lemon flavors were a very nice combination and the nut aftertaste was delectable. I did not pair this wine with food, but at the Vintage Cellar they recommended pairing it with grilled seafood or chicken and I think that sounds like a wonderful combination.
