wine tasting, savor california in all senses

it is such a 'no no" for local cultured proletarian SFcans like b and M: learn to evaluate wine is such a pretentious and pressured hard work; when bohamian san francisco has so much to offer, why bother to drive all the way north up to Napa Valley ? but all i wanted to do is to relax and enjoy the drive and soak up the beauty of this US's premium wine county. as for the wine itself, i knew red for meat and white for fish already! only here goes with other wordings like (HALL winery presents): Sauvignon Blanc2001 is crackling, crip, incisive, a hint of melon, a tangy minarality that simply screams for clams or lobster; merlot is equally juicy, with firm cassis and camphor in the nose and rich blackberry fruit in the mouth, trip tip, barbecued... see? white for fish, red for meat...
