Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

This wine is a good value, I however would not compare it to Conundrum, NO way. This is good to have with your week night meal. It is not heavy and is refreshing, would be good with a light meal on the porch in spring......

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

This has been almost a house wine for a few months. Buy it buy the case. Nice acidity as it makes your mouth water a bit. I call it juicy. If you like oaked wines don't buy this one though.

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

I always taste a bottle within a week of it being delivered, to have something to compare to later, usually the impression I get on first tasting is that it needs to sit for 6 months or a year, but this one was tasty right away, I hope to buy more real soon!

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

this tastes like the leftovers of mediocre wine mixed together. A really horrible example of wine that would have been better used as a base for vinegar.

Very nice!

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

Wonderful balance between pallet cleansing white and desert wine. This wine has the best of both worlds. Great by itself but would pair with light snacks or even some main dishes.

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

This reminded me of an inexpensive jug wine of the 1960's, or the result of pouring the leftovers of party wines into one bottle.
I will use the remaining three bottles as cooking wines.

I think the description was pretty much on target, "a Conundrum like wine." We are planning on serving it as one of our wines at our Christmas party and have enjoyed it with cream soups, light pasta and seafood.

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

I was very excited to received a good wine table wine, unfortunately, this bottle missed the mark! There were notes of fruit and floral, but the taste was that of a watered down wine. It was so watery that I couldn't even make a good spritzer out of this poor wine. I'm a bit disappointed.

Comments about Big House White 2008 California:

I have never been so disappointed. Regular customer and have always found the recommendations to be accurate in the past. Feel ripped off this time. Shared some with my two partners and they hated it too. It's not just me.
