Saturday night's dinner consisted of scallops and Patagonian Toothfish
pan-seared and served with a mango-papaya-avocado salsa of the non-spicy variety. With this, we opened: 2006 Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Federspiel ($11.99) nose: intense minerality, green pea palate: crisp acidity, wet stones, a bit of white peach underneath a vivid green element, light body This opened for a Grüner-loving friend of ours (no winegeek she, but GV has now totally eclipsed NZ SB in her world... at least until the $ takes another hard slide against the ‚¬) following another bottle of the current-release Foreau Vouvray Brut (toastier than previous bottles, still yummy). This wine is the product of the local grower's co-operative (Freie Weingärtner Wachau) and is one of the great QPR wines of the moment. Purchased at Whole Foods on a recent excursion to Chicago.

I have an order to pick up at Zachys, they have and I'll grab some. I think I've said before, to me only the Produttori del Barbaresco can equal Domane Wachau/FWW among co-ops. |

I wrote this up - maybe I remembered your notes, but very similar: Betsy was working Sunday, I had dinner ready soon after she got home. Grilled sage pork chops, cauliflower with pimenton, and leftover red cabbage slaw (she made a bunch!). Recipe called for PN as a match for the chops, but I worried re the pimenton, and went with white. I opened the 2006 Domane Wachau "Terrassen" Gruner Veltliner Federspiel . This has more weight than the 2004, though it is a sprightly wine. Ripe apple and white pit fruit with a little green lentil and pepper. Good acidity, nice finish for the level, I get some wet rock minerality after a while (didn't come through the fruit at first). Good wine, and a great value at $11.99. B/B+ |
