TN: Saar, Prosecco, Touraine, Barolo
Dinner at a friends honoring other old friends back in the area for a visit.. I was in charge of appetizers and made smoked salmon canapes, mozzarella/pepper bruschetta,& prosciutto/date rollups
NV Tutela Prosecco A little sweetness, appley, a bit blah and clipped. B-/C+ 2011 Grand Moulin Sauvignon Blanc (Touraine) Intensely grapefruity, decent acids, a little sweetness, this is the Fresca of wines. I actually liked it. B Dinner was braised beef brisket, risotto with squash, a Turkish eggplant dish, and a green salad with blue cheese and walnuts 2008 Vajra “Albe” Barolo Ripe tannins, forward for Barolo, red fruits, some violet/floral notes, very popular. B+/B There was a 2009 Bordeaux AC that I neglected to write down any notes on (or name of), but a pleasant round Merlot-y quaff. Last night I hurried to throw together a meal, went a bit crosscultural with sag daal, samosas, and margherita pizza. I went to match the Indian food with the 2002 Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Kabinett Riesling. A bit sweeter and softer than I expected, but very tasty with green apple and lime fruit, some mineral tones, good finish. B/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. |

B/B+ ----------------------------------- Dale: I don't like to "waste" wines on Indian food. The best match I have found has been cider, discovered some 50 years ago when at uni. Of course in US parlance, that would be hard cider. Graham |
