Betsy in NH for concerts, but Dave is back so I don't have to usually
eat alone. Tuesday was Cornish game hens spiced with cumin and a bit of Szechuan pepper, snow peas, and salad. Wine was the 2007 Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuisse, a fairly big fleshy PF. White fruits, butterscotch, nice mineral finish, just a hint of oak. B/B+ Wednesday I met friends at the park, bearing a "garbage" pasta salad (using up every partial veg in fridge, plus chevre and olives), salami, and wine. Shared with others on a pretty night while listening to excellent jazz (Stryker-Slagle band). 2008 Donabaum "Spitzer Point" Gruner Veltliner Federspiel* I always pick up Winemonger wines when I see them, but this showed a different importer. In any case, I've always liked Donabaum, and this is no exception. White nectarine and citrus, sweet pea, wet rocks. Fresh, zippy, yet with a nice creamy texture, a hit all around. B+ 2008 Tutu Pinot Grigio (this was definitely California, but not sure if a specific appelation). Dolores said it got an over 90 Parker score. I can see why- this is a big fruitbomb of a PG, honeydew and figs, not my style, but clean. B-/C+ 2009 Guion Rose (VdTable de France) OK, this isn't a "serious" rose, but just what I want on a hot day. Very light, buoyant acidity, pretty strawberry fruit with just a hint of sweetness. Light herbal notes dance in the background, $11 well spent. B+ 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.** |

Thanks Michael, as aBurg guy I thought of that, but this was Johann, the previous bottles I've bought (02-07 Smaragds) definitely were Emily imports, this said "A Monika Cana selection" and was brought in by Wildman. I should have noted Johann's name in any case |
