Semillon and food?
I just had a '98 Woodward Canyon "Charbonneau" that was a blend of 95%
Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Very strong Semillon character and
rather a bit on the oaky side. (Sure wish it'd been botrytis-affected -
would have given a good Sauternes a run for its money.) We had it with
crab cakes, but I don't think that was the best match. (I think a NZ
Sauvignon Blanc would have been better.)
Anyway, the question arose: "What would be a 'good' accompaniment for
this wine?" Thoughts?
