A lovely late summer evening sitting at the sidewalk patio of Inari's Bistro in Palisade, Colorado. These mussels in a mildly spicy Thai green sauce made for a savory appetizer, especially when paired with a slightly chilled glass of Garfield Estates 2006 S2, a crisp, acidic Sémillon/ Viognier blend redolent with hints of melon and pear, and very mild oak.

S2 2006 was a blend of Sémillon and Viognier. Earlier releases of S2 were a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, thus S2. However Sauvignon Blanc was in short supply during the 2006 harvest and it was decided to use Viognier as a replacement for that year. The aroma reminds one of summertime fruit. The taste and finish are crisp and dry.
Viognier 2007 was 100 percent Viognier. The aroma was fresh fruit especially melon. The taste was smooth and the finish dry.
Fumé Blanc 2006 was aged in the barrel for 41/2 months. There was smoke on the aroma. The taste was smooth and the aftertaste lingered.
I like this drink with my Cuban cigars. I buy Cigars Online.
