The
Back Label:
I am very fond of crab, halibut, walleye, and chicken in a tarragon
sauce, but Walleye White or Chicken White just doesn’t sound as elegant! I’m not
actually fond of oysters, I eat them to be polite and I like to chase them down
with good wine.
This is a dulcet, flavor full wine based on a cultivar that grows
better here than anywhere else in the world, one of Washington’s best varieties
for fish and poultry . . . Sémillon.
Carefully grown to have tropical
fruit aromatics.
Barrel fermented and aged in aged oak for roundness, suppleness, and complex
flavors. Crisp acidity brings harmony to a seafood dish—skip
the lemon, you’ve got this wine!
Critics
Reviews:
“This is how
I like whites! This is really good! Can I buy a case?”
Bill Mechem, Winemaker
“We like
this a lot. We should have gotten more 2008, so we want to take a case of this
now.”
Dana and Todd, Winery volunteers
“This is
really good! I like it better than the 2008. I want a case.”
Lyn O., Former Wine Shop Owner
“The best
white wine I’ve ever had.”
Amy, Web Site Designer
“Naw, I don’t like it so much.”
Amy’s friend
(Amy’s friend doesn’t like Brie
cheese, but Amy does!”
We have
found a distinct correlation between people liking Brie cheese and also liking
this vintage of our Oyster White. If you really dislike Brie, you probably
won’t like this Oyster White.
Since we
don’t take wine writers to lunch and don’t spend a lot of money entering wine
competitions, these are our reviewers—the people who come to our tasting room.
People
usually taste our wine before they buy. They are the only critics who count, the ones who pay us.
