To celebrate our 2-yr wedding anniversary while in Alaska, we had 5-course dinner at one of the premier spots in the state, which just so happened to be at our resort (at the top of the mountain). A Wine Spectator recognized restaurant with an incredible wine list!
First wine of the night and possibly my wine of the night. This opened my eyes to how good french white wine can be. The smell was addictive...orange marmalade, honeycomb, papaya. The acidity on this was surprising as it cut through the salad dressing easily. The wine glided across the palate and left you craving more. I want as much of this as I can find.

Disappointing. Somewhat flat and bland and lacking sufficient acid structure. Don't buy.

A beautiful, classic Clos des Mouches from Drouhin. Excellent fruit, beautiful balance, underlying lemon curd and great depth.
