Holy good deal, Batman. I don't like Semillon by itself too much as too waxy/viscous and don't love the flavor. I think they use Semillon in Sauternes though which of course is great. QOTD: I'm sure I have. In fact the Le Frappe S.A.S. Philippe Raoux Brut I purchased at the Wine Lib on my 1 visit there. I liked it. Wow, great QPR on 1st wine! Holy good deal, Batman.

What really sparked my interest (in buying/ordering white Bordeaux) was the Callac in the Christmas pack. After that, I had a life altering experience in February at a Haut Brion dinner in London where I had both Haut Brion Blanc and Laville Haut Brion for the first time.
