They had three features wines by the glass, and since we didn&#8217;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&#8217;t appear to be in wide distribution, but many restaurants do carry it.)</p> <p>4 out of 5 stars</p> Fri, 01 Sep 2006 23:48:11 -0700 urn:uuid:11d287d5-2125-450d-b3a1-c42f3c9e074b Max Dunn http://blog.maxdunn.com/articles/2006/09/01/allimant-laugner-2004-pinot-blanc Wine and Whiskey
