Good friend Mike:
I spent two summers in the Republic of Ireland, at the tender and
impressionable age of 19 and 21.
I passed within kissing distance of the Blarney stone.
And I am well aware of your sweet tooth when it comes to wine.
But I really think you might like the SHL white ... if you havenīt tried it
already and found it wanting ...
Personally, I preferred it to some Sancerres (white of course) which I found
had an aggressive acidity.
The style is of course totally different, so comparing the one to the other
is a bit apples/pears.
And tonight, a white Bourgogne "severely deformed by ... excessive age".
Cheers
Till dess
Nils Gustaf
