  Lovely light gold. Delicious lemon quince honeyed nose. Disappointing relative to the nose. Thin, a bit sour, lemony.

  Very floral fragrant nose of roses and honey suckles. A delight to smell. Tropical fruits on the palate and good acidity .

  lovely wine. Beautiful pale gold color. On the nose there is fleshy tropical notes that are matched on the palate. The wine smells like it will be fat but is clean on the finish. Great starter and great with food.

  Monday night Blinds at Home (Home (Noe st)): Medium gold.
  Dry
  Floral and terpene-driven. Rose petal, canned lychee, slight underripe peach, there's a bitter, reductive stink to this. Not bad.
  Phenolic bitterness
  Acid is medium plus
  Alcohol is medium, maybe slightly elevated. 12.5% (Correct)
  Overall it feels too light for gewurz.
  Some earth and waxiness.
  
  Muscat from Alsace
  Torrontes from Argentina.
  Tastes too good to be Torrontes, and slightly old-world.
  Some development.
  
  --> Muscat, Alsace, 2013.
  
  Viognier - too high acid.
  
  Albarino: Too terpenic.
  
  I like this: Around 8.5-9.
  
  Actually: Zind-Humbrecht Muscat, 2012!!!
  Residual sugar :5 g/l
  Total Acidity :3.3 g/l H2S04
  pH :3.4
