Lopsided with acid, but I don't care because I finally tried 100% Colombard. Very interesting. Thank you, Aziz!:)))

Grilled swordfish with parsley-grape relish, sautéed kohlrabi (including the greens), Japonica rice, caprese salad with avocado. This wine was perfect with each dish on the plate.

Poached some salmon with a bit of this and drank the rest with our picnic supper on Shakespeare Hill. Nice result, thanks to the quality wine.

First California white I've had that doesn't taste like welchers. Bright. A little fruit. Seems like it has a lot of contact has that pleasant skin grape fruit.
