WINE NOTES

Grant Burge Kraft Sauvignon Blanc, Austraila: Light green hue comes from cooler climate fruit. Grassy, typical sauvignon blanc characters with prominent aromas of tropical fruit salad (pineapple, kiwi, lilikoi). Clean and refreshing acid with good length of finish.
Robert Sinskey Pinot Blanc, Los Carneros: Aromatic with notes of jasmine and honeysuckle. Rich mouthfeel with bright acidity pairs well with food, especially lobster.
