Dog Tail NV White California

Does the tail wag the dog, or the other way around? It’s a likeable wine, but there are better choices, but maybe not for this price.

It’s a clear, bright straw yellow wine if slightly pale. It’s not a typical white. There’s not a lot of oak, or acidity and a lot more sweetness than you might expect for a white, but not overpoweringly so. Perhaps better for sipping than dinner. There are no off notes. Oh, and Salinas liked this one better than I did.

Crisp and light and very tasty. It goes very well on a hot summer day along with a hot summer fling. Good with about any fruit. It’s maybe not so good with intense citrus. For a white, this is about a B or B+ on my scale.
