  May 7, 2011 - Purchased as a glass at Toast Wine Bar, Oakland. Served chilled. Cold nose of subdued fruit with a citrus component. On the entry, dry attack with kerosene, lime and chalk. Ends with some light grapefruit / citrus notes. Fair to Good.

  January 9, 2011 - Drank over two nights. I'm a Riesling neophyte, so no formal score, just observations. Lemongrass and faint oily background on the nose. The palate shows creamy lemon curds, honey and mulled cider. Paired it with a variety of random foods (everything from a Greek vegie pizza to sushi) and it paired nicely with everything. The only detraction was the finish seemed lean, tart and clipped - like the wine was sourced from young vines. Still, all-in-all a nice bottle

  February 13, 2010 - An Offer of Awesome Burgundy Inspires A Day of Tasting In the Willamette Valley (Willamette Valley): Pears, some honey, and a hint of floral aromas come through on the nose. It's clean on the palate, with mid strength acid that dries out nicely. Some pear flavors appear early and late, but they fade fairly quickly.

  February 13, 2010 - A day tasting in the Willamette Valley with the usual suspects (Oregon): The nose was yellow apple, kiwi with lots of acidity showing. I wrote "not immediately appetizing" in my notes for the nose. The palate is very dry, the acidity hangs on for a long time. The fruit early on the palate is nice but the acidity here is a bit much. Would be good food wine.

  February 13, 2010 - Lucien Le Moine at Scott Paul, and other WV because we're there (Carlton, OR): Very smooth nose, soft, with some light pumpkin, lemon peel, and grape fruit. Medium body, and quite interesting in texture... not what I would call smooth at all; almost has gritty acidity, but a bit awkward. There's a bunch of tart acid on the back end, and leaves the mouth feeling like it was just coated in some thick liquid. A strange one.
