A friend called by this sunny Sunday evening with a bucket full of freshly
picked, Pacific Oysters, not four hours from the tidal waters of the
Northland coast.

While Pete shucked the shellfish, I tossed the bottle of Sepp Moser Grüner
Veltliner 'Breiter Rain' 2005 into the freezer (10 minutes was all the time
we could wait).

What a sensational match - at this time of the year, these naturally grown
"wild" oysters are fat and in their prime.

A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of lemon were all
that was required.

I consumed 3 dozen oysters in 30 minutes (and I am proud to admit it!!!!!!!)

And Michael, the GV was simply superb with the oysters - medium bodied, with
citrus notes and an appealing, spicy overlay with fine balancing acidity -
perfect!
