VA Wine Festival
This Saturday is the Virginia Wine Festival. I will be heading out there to see what VA has to offer. It should be a good time. To get in the mood, I cracked open a bottle tonight. This past week has involved a lot of beer drinking at bars, so it is nice to sit down and relax with something a bit lighter.
Wine #17 - 2004 Chateau Montet Bordeaux Sauvignon, France.
This is a white Bordeaux. Not something I am familiar with. The color is very pale. Even more so than a Pinot Grigio. Initially a nice strong bouquet, with a little bit of everything, mostly citrus - grapefruit and lemon. The taste is quite similar. I would describe it as a bit sour, leaving your mouth dry at the end. This really is different than a lot of whites I have tried. I can see this going well with a lemon fish dinner. Not really a party wine or something you would drink a whole bottle of yourself. I say skip it.
