Allimant-Laugner 2004 Pinot Blanc

For our 16 wedding anniversary, Suzanne and I went to Cafe Marcella and had a great dinner. They had three features wines by the glass, and since we didn’t recognize any of them, asked the waiter for his thoughts. He recommended the Allimant-Laugner 2004 Pinot Blanc, and it turned out to be a great recommendation. It was a dry wine but with a hint of sweetness and a nice layer of vanilla. It had the floral overtones of a sauvignon blanc with the slight buttery finish of a chardonnay, but certainly not overly oaked. Both Suzanne and I really enjoyed it and thought it was one of the best white wines we have had recently. (Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be in wide distribution, but many restaurants do carry it.)
4 out of 5 stars
