And fortunately, here in the proverbial sticks, it's generally easy to find. However, I had the 2004 Kim Crawford Sauv. Blanc last year and detested it. I'm generally not a white wine drinker but because I was having a light seafood dish went in for a glass of it and hated every minute, just harsh and brackish with tacky fruits to me. Which, after reading this, makes me think the wine had turned (bought by the glass) or it was a corked batch. I look forward to your next discovery!
