Daughter was doing a curry fritter so I thought lets break out he sparkling cider that I have kept too long, right oxidized yellow brown . . . so I said ok we can move to the main wine for the night a 2002 Trimbach Cuvee Frederik Emile, you guessed it bad cork and oxidized wine eesh we settled for a St Michelle 2011 Horse Heaven Sauvignon Blanc which was by comparison excellent in reality it was a nice non grapefruity SB fresh and acidic and quite nice. As it turned out the fritters were not as hot as I had thought and the wine was a good match. though I knew the cider was too old it was a shame about the CFE.
