From recent meals:

2006 Joseph Drouhin Vero Bourgogne Rouge
nose: bright, cherryish fruit, floral
palate: light body, good acidity, cherries, flowers

Not a profound Pinot Noir by any stretch, but a very decent
ready-to-drink example. Its $27 price tag at a local restaurant was
very reasonale.

2007 Schloss Gobelsburg "Gobelsburger" Riesling
nose: citrus, hints of peach and minerals
palate: crisp, light, citrusy, simple

Not the most interest Gobelsburger I've had, this one seemed a bit
simple and a bit shy on fruit. It seemed to promise more in the nose
than it delivered on the palate.

Given the fact that this is the most basic riesling bottling of
Schloss Gobelsburg *and* the fact that 2007 was not a good year
in general*) for riesling in Austria, the result has been
predictable.

*) I am not talking about top level bottlings where severe
selection brought great wines, but about the vintage on average.

thanks for the notes.
The Vero isn't ever profound, but I wish a restaurant around here
would carry for $27!

TBH, it's normally $54 on that list, but Wed. night is 50% off on French
wines. Guess which night we dined on? :P
