Always good - nose reminds me more of semillon and alsace - could probably keep for some time.

It reminds me of my favorite qualities of Chardonnay (oaky, med bodied, buttery smelling, straw-colored happiness), but with a crisp, dry, finish that makes it great in summer. This is like 'I can't believe it's not Chardonnay' for nasty, humid days- my tastes are the same but the real deal makes me feel sweaty just thinking about it.
