Not as crisp a wine as I had hoped for, but certainly worth it for the price.  It’s more yellow in color when in the glass than I expected, but color doesn’t mean much to me.  

The girlfriend said “slightly aromatic and peachy”, but my ability to discern whites is somewhat limited, especially since I don’t smell peaches that often.

Has a bit of a bitter taste on the end of the finish.  

Flavorful enough to serve with lighter pastas, fish, and even spicy dishes like Mexican, etc.

Considering what’s out there in the world, I’d expect a wine like this to go for $10+ in a big store, and $15 on the corner.
