This bottle was 6$ and from what I've heard, H.V. Semillon can be amazing! This bottle on the other hand, was showing off its budget muscle. It had a fuller body and attempted at some crisp/tart citric notes but really fell flat on its finish. You and I for that matter, should consider buying a higher quality bottle for this style.

Wet stone, flint, slate, and a touch of gooseberry. Excellent food wine.

No real flavour. Pretty underwhelming, priced 14.95. Would be fair if priced at $8. Pretty much cooking wine.

Australian Chenin Blanc is so cheap but performs. Minerality and bright acidity make this the perfect pairing for salad or light snacks on the patio. This is worth every penny of he $6 I paid at TJ's.

Not bad wine for dinner. Not too dry even though it says it is.
