Before embarking on tomorrow's journey to the wilds of Michigan for a
weeklong vacation, we decided to dine out at our favorite local
child-friendly restaurant. Horror of horrors, they were celebrating
their "Grand Re-Opening" after a change of ownership and the family room
(one of this place's bigger attractions) is now a bagel shop. Despite
all this, we still had a good meal (both menu and kitchen staff are
unchanged). With Jean's veal and shrimp picatta and my spinach salad
with shrimp, we got:

2005 Allan Scott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
nose: floral, tropical fruit and stones
palate: crisp entry, grapefruit, tropical fruit, good acidity

A very nice example of Marlborough SB, and one that didn't show much of
the herbal, grassy notes that are often present. This wine had good
intensity of fruit and was utterly crisp. All in all, a very nice wine
for our dinner.
