Nope, we did not like this wine much. Too sharp and citrus-like, almost like a dry, largely fruitless grapefruit juice. Matched it with boneless chicken breasts with feta and red and yellow peppers, which is always a good match for sauvignon blanc, which the wine store guy said resembled this grape in taste. He was right, I thought, but it too much resembled a poor SB. CAD$17.

Funny, I always keep some of this wine on hand. I find it matches very well with unadorned shellfish. Stone crab, king crab, steamed lobster, etc. Just steamed and served with drawn butter, maybe a little garlic. It's no blockbuster, and doesn't go with much else, is kind of boring actually, but I like the bracing acidity, love grapefruit in an unoaked white, and think it's a terrific wine in its proper context.
