De Bortoli Traminer Riesling, 2009, Australia

Sneaky.

An Aussie wine like a German wine like an Aussie wine. A fragrant white at a non fragrant white price. At $11.95 this wine has a nose that is really very inviting, but not over the top sweet or fruity, despite what the label may say. I love the nose. Floral, but back in there is that petrol Riesling, that wet slate. A bit like smelling the lilacs at the side of my house as the bus goes by on a rainy day. No joke! This happens often in the late spring, as I leave for work after the kids have left for school, winding down another year of growth and becoming. Sneaky, how these children change. And change you.

Sneaky how playful whites like this help you cook! We were preparing for a very important evening tomorrow, doing as much advanced cooking tonight as possible. Sneaky how fast they disappear.

Sneaky how 10:30 becomes 12:12.

Sadly, this wine does not really go well with the chocolate chips I am sneaking from the extremely obvious and giant Costco bag of chocolate chips. But it would go very well with some spicy shrimp. Sadly, there is no giant Costco bag of spicy shrimp that I can sneak.

Best sneak to bed.
