| I first came across this wine at a tasting for 
Terranova Wines over at Cafe Lamberti a couple of months 
ago, but me being at a tasting and sitting down and 
writing a review is a totally different things, so I acked 
Ottavio about tasting the wines at a different time.
 Happy Tails is a humanitarian effort with proceeds from 
each bottle sold at a retail outlet going to the SPCA that 
services that zip code in which it was bought.
 This wine is a nice, somewhat dry white which is 
composed of 70% Malvasia Bianca and 30% Chardonnay. I 
detect a little bit of green apple in the flavor which is 
probably mainly from the Malvasia grape, but the overall 
texture smoothes out to an almost silk feel; actually more 
like satin sheets.  Reminding me of a flavorful Pinot 
Grigio, this wine would actually be great with fruits, 
cheeses, salads and seafood.  It has a little bit more 
depth than a Sancerre, but has an equal amount of dry and 
wet that should suit most palates.   |
