Pretty Name, Dull Wine

We had company yesterday. Not sure of their drink preferences, I had not given much thought to the wine that we were going to offer. When asked, they told me they preferred white.

The wine was dull both on the nose as well as the palette. I am not sure what the guests thought but could guess from the fact that they did not finish the glass. Enough said ...
