The Wolftrap Syrah Mourvédere Viognier was absolutely insipid. Yes, insipid is the word. No character whatsoever and there is no doubt in my mind no word could better describe it. I was constantly wondering why I was even lifting the glass to my lips. Just plain not worth it.

The other night however on the recommendation of an English Co-worker I enjoyed a wonderful Carmen Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. Nothing remotely furry about the bottle (plain label, clear glass, screw top) but it was a good wine, and at 6.99 reasonably priced. Warm towards the alcohol but with tart mineral and nutty tones. The taste was almost a bit of sesame seed at least on the nutty note. A bit different from the Yellow Tail in that it's warmer. It's not really a delicate example of everything a Sauvingnon Blanc should be though. Not delicate enough. The notes run together a bit too much whereas in a $20 bottle (not to say you get what you pay for but in general) the notes would be more separate.

That's all for now. I'm working at a summer camp, meeting people from all over the world and having fun with them. I'm getting paid a lot more than my last job, but it's a resident camp and I have all sorts of legal obligations not to divulge anything. I have a fairly high position though, basically in charge of something I used to just be a part of at my last camp. They can monitor internet use so I'm coming to you from my apartment.

Peace
