The best white wine I have ever had comes from Spain. From Barcelona, in Cataluņa to be exact.
It is called Gessami and is pretty wonderful. It's really fruity but not overly sweet, and it's crisp. This is a little secret imparted to me by a friend from this region. Whenever I go there now I always buy a bottle to bring back.
Here is a rather good review:
Gessami wine review
__________________
Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
