One wine to report

It's been a slow drinking week for me, so I only have one wine to report.  It's nice, though.

2005 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough - Another prime example of New Zealand SB.  Racy acidity and stunning citrus notes underpinned by a nice, slaty stoniness.  A touch of guava and bit less of the pronounced asparagus I've been getting from NZ SBs recently.  Great with shellfish (we drank it with more bacon-wrapped scallops).

BTW, Safeway's had U-10 scallops on sale for $7-8 / pound which is why Brandy and I have been having them so often recently.  Really nice pan-seared or bacon-wrapped.  And there's nothing more kosher (or halal) than bacon-wrapped scallops.     :)
