Jeremy's Riesling Dinner (Hawthorn): Half. A lovely amber colour. Deep and creamy on the nose, with some strawberry - no wonder it matched the dessert so well. Good fun on the palate, with a sour yoghurty flavour, almost chevre-like, married to intense, bracing, barely-ripe mango. Beautiful long finish, grippy and piquant with lime. I'm sure people have told me that Eiswein doesn't age well, but here's a strong counterexample.

Dinner with Eric and Susan G.: Ripe notes of yellow peach, orange with a hint of the sweaty honey and toasted almond. The palate shows true eiswein colors - bright, with gooseberry and red currants, richer toward the back, bringing in candied lemon and lime. really fresh - drinking like a bright auslese, but with a dollop of lemon cream on top.

A bracing nose of quince, alfalfa, honey and morning dew (ok i forget the nose. tbh, but it was sweet and improved with air for sure)
Upon warming up a bit, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS combination of fresh granny smith and golden delicious apples with a baked crust. I know, i know-- you'd think that cooked apples might taste better with the smell of a sweet flaky crust and you, sir and madam, WOULD BE WRONG.
LONG, Sweet and fresh acidity on the finish. Disappears VERY very quickly. Superb. OBTAIN EISWEIN.

Champagne, Riesling, and Bordeaux with Skippy (Chicago, IL): From half-bottle. Apple-juicy and sour; probably oxidized.
