Bliss

TASTING NOTES:
“Balanced fruit, lingering acidity and rich flavors and aromas of caramelized white pear, fresh fuji and golden delicious apple, apple blossoms and torched crème bruleé.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help make conversation over this wine:

The famous Windows XP desktop background titled “Bliss” was taken in the Los Carneros AVA. Of course, it was taken when vineyards had to be temporarily cleared away. Nowadays, of course, the vineyards have reclaimed their spot.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
A standard white glass. Soft cheeses, white fish, chicken, and light pasta are the way to go.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
The gutted tower of your old Windows XP.
