I was at stove on Tuesday, with a bean/kale/yam korma and sauteed mushrooms . Wine was the 2009 Trimbach Gewurztraminer (this is the regular yellow lab el). Good for level -dry, good typicity with lichee, flowers, and citrus pe el, modest finish but a pleasant easygoing wine. B/B-
Wednesday was lamb chops, polenta, and red onions with the 2009 Felsina Fon talloro. Understandably quite primary and big at first, with air gains a bi t of complexity. Red fruits, leather, a little cocoa. Good balance, but a l ot of tannin here, needs time. B+/B for drinking now, expect to get better.
Thursday was pork bulgogi with an Asian accented (ginger, soy, sesame) slaw and brown rice. Wine was the 2012 von Schubert/Maximin Grunhauser Riesling QbA. Just off-dry, juicy Granny Smith fruit with a squirt of lime juice, m inerally, very good length for level. I quite ejoy this! 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 pa rty where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivit y, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
