All wines were opened in the morning, decanted into generic bottles and allowed to rest in the cellar. Flights 1 and 2, as well as the itnroductory white, were served double blind. The theme for Flight 1 was pinot noirs from different countries. The theme for Flight 2 was Bordeaux varietals from different locales.

2008 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Heimbourg 93 Points
France, Alsace
Really evolving nicely. Served blind. All guessed Riesling with pedigree. No one guessed Alsace. Honeyed appearance with thickness due to the residual sugar. On the nose, citrus, white flowers and pineapple. On the palate, honey, citrus, with impeccable balance. Off dry. Prime time in 2 years.
