First, let’s try saying “Semillon”. Apparently it is pronounced “Seh-meh-YON”. Say it with me – “seh-meh-YON”. You’ve got it! (Don’t feel bad if you didn’t know, I totally
had to ask.)
The label says “It has been called Australia’s unique
wine gift to the world. It is a crisp
and refreshing wine, perfect with seafood, white meats, and salads. It is from Australia’s oldest wine
region. It is the OTHER white wine…”
Ahhhh – clever! I see
what they did there! They ripped off
PORK’s big ad campaign about being the “other white meat”. Clever buggers!

| Simple label. Australians don't need no stinkin' artwork on their wine. |
Ok. So I was going
to use “crisp” as my adjective to describe this wine, too, but now that I read
the label to you, you are gonna think I just copied that from the bottle! I did not.
I wrote down “crisp” before I read the label, I swear. Of course, I say that about the majority of
white wines that we drink…
It is nice. It sets
off whatever it is in your mouth that gets your saliva glands going… Is that citrus? It is not TOO DRY – we had it with Chicken
Quesadillas (reviewed yesterday) and we also had it one night with a vegetarian
meal and it was a good match for that, too.

| Check it out - the wine peeps at TJ's also used "crisp" :) |
David also used CRISP.
He said, “Nice, fine. Good. Crisp.
Pretty dry white wine.”
Oops – I said it WAS NOT all that dry… Well, if you average our “dry” ratings
together it is MEDIUM DRY! J And if I read the label better I would have
seen that it bills itself as a “Classic Dry White”. Hahaha!
OK OK IT IS DRY. (But not tooooo
dry, in my opinion.)
It has a screw top so it is easy to open. We used to think screw tops were a bad thing,
but the older we get the more we realize that screw tops are easy! We would buy and drink this again.
G’day Australia!
