Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 6, 2011 - A little sour apple, up-front fruitiness was not overwhelming. Good minerality, great and easy drinker. Super light-yellow with a dash of green, bright and crisp but not overly so.
Used it to make the sauce for chicken scallopini. The lightness of the wine came out in the sauce making it the best wine I've ever used for a scallopini sauce. The lemon in the sauce matched perfectly with the wine. I have a feeling it could do great things with french-style butter and mushrooms sautéed together.
Enjoyed a glass with the scallopini which brought out some of the nuances in the wine, the capers and crispy chicken crust salt expressed some of the juiciness of this wine that I didn't at first notice. Ends with a hint of honeycomb lingering in my mouth.
I have about half a bottle left which I plan to taste tonight and compare with this tasting.
And now for the CT tasting note assistant version :D
