Big House White is a grocery store wine made from a lot of grapes you may never have heard of. They include Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Malvasia, Bianca, Muscat, and Marsanne among others.
The nose smells floral and leaves the impression of a very sweet wine. However the wine is refreshingly fruit forward without being very sweet at all. There is also a mineral quality with the wine that allows food matches with grilled chicken, simple seafood preparations - particularly with a little spice. Mostly, it's a backyard quaffer from a reputable producer (Bonny Doone) at a good price - about $9
