Seeing the lingo on the back label certainly would be an improvement over most of what passes for back label wine writing...

Or was it from that little (cult?) Marin county vineyard I read about somewhere? For something completely diff, check this-- 'Boutari, Santorini, Aegean Islands 2008 (Greece) Platinum-gold hue. Lemon and mineral smokiness on the nose, this is a richly flavoured and expansive wine...' These are Decanter tasting notes-- 'platinum gold'? Er, white gold? Blindingly precious sparkliness? Pale but honeyed? WTF? somebody help me here, I'm fascinated but flummoxed...
