Stanley Lambert '04 Full-Sister Semillon

The weather is much cooler at last. It's hard to believe that just two weeks ago we were baking. Originally hailing from the UK, I'm used to the weather being the main topic of conversation, and picking up my copy of The Sweet Life by Laura Stoddart, I came across a wonderfully appropriate quote by Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900):
"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it."
Can't argue with that.

Now that we have relief from the heat and veraison starting in the the Twin Vines vineyard, it's clear that harvest is creeping towards us, so we're making a point of enjoying plenty of memorable whites while the weather is still fine. A couple of nights ago we enjoyed a bottle of Stanley Lambert '04 Full-Sister Semillon from Australia's Barossa Valley. Fragrant, with gentle scents of pineapple, dates and honeydew, this wine has fresh flavors of pineapple, lemon butter, lime and soft hints of caramel. Great with seafood and the perfect compliment to a summer evening spent with a favorite book.
