Dear Bruce,

What colour snow to eat depends on your taste.  

White snows:

Fluffy and white - Cool and refreshing with no taste except for oaky peaches I reccommend Ruapehu Estates "June 09" very drinkable today. 

Dirty white - a gritty drop with moraine dust undertones and blackberries.  Garden of Eden easter is a chewy drinker in this price range.

Pretty blue - hard deep winter ice, under pressure with smoky strawberry undertones.  Nice to look at but difficult to drink 45m up a free standing pillar at Wye Creek.

Sickly green - hard ice.  Aoraki summit 09 is a nice drinker with a slight hint of unwashed armpit over apricot sulfates.

Yellow Snows:

 Light yellow  - well hydrated lunch piss is a reasonable drinker which isn't too different from fluffy and white.

Medium yellow - tangy.  More like a morning vintage outside a hut.  Goes well with red meat and porcupines.

Dark Yellow - a rich drop, "I didn't drink all day cos my feet were cold" is one of my faves of this vintage.  Well priced!  Impress her!

Kinda orrange - Only the most robust of pallettes can handle this.  "24hrs out without a drink bottle" is a well priced edition. 

Red snow:

Glacier algae - kinda freaky this drop, leave it for your teenage kids or spouse if you're in the Rolling Stones.

Bit the ice-axe while falling - this is a salty drop with undercurrents of moluccan spices.  Nice!  But don't confuse with...

Carrol Hut toilet 04 - not a great drop.
