Default TN: Splendid Smaragd

With pork chops, cauliflower, and salad, the 2007 Knoll Ried Schutt
Durnsteiner Riesling Smaragd. This is great stuff, big and dry but not
the least bit austere. Peach and white nectarine, with a little lime
note from the acidity. Full, fresh, fun. Stands up and matches well
with the food. This could use time, but damn it's tasty already. Long
and very minerally on finish, this goes on and on. Will try to resist
and put my remaining bottles away for a while. A- , with room for
improvement in my view. And I don't care what anyone says, I love the
label.

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.**
