tasting at home... spot the makeshift spittoon. It's amazing what one can find lying around the house! systematic approach to tasting. amazing to see the differences in appearance - whites are not whites. lemon, gold, lemon green. aromas: honey...

Wonderful floral aromas. Dry, zesty and a high acidity wine. I detected lovely citrus (grapefruit) notes on the palette. Keep the bottle sealed (screw cap) and it refrigerated well, keeping the aromas and refreshing acidity for 5-6 days.

Saw Dogville at the week-end. Absolutely terrific film. Now I can agree with folks when they say Nicole Kidman can act - I was struggling with that concept for years. Intelligent and daring film - a critique of capitalism from a man who has never ...
