Again, Nathan and I decended upon Waterford from atop a mountain, the Olde Smokey Mountain. My contribution to the slide was a lowly 1996 Ridge York Creek Petite Sirah.
Absolutely enthralled with the '03 Storybook Reserve. I agree with Ben in saying, quite possibly the best Zin I've had. The Amarone wasn't showing me what I wanted to see. That must be my problem.
The d'Yquem was amazing, but in the end I was left thinking about the amazing expression of sage oil and cranberry relish left by the Felluga Mocato Rosa.

2007 Smith-Madrone Riesling
USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
green tea in the nose. grappa. minerality across the palate. the finish swells wonderfully. water weight and delicate florals. Medium acid. Who makes a better Riesling in this country???

2007 K Vintners Viognier
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Peach and flower blossom on the nose. quite a sweet floral note in the air tonight. Medium acid and a hint of chalk. drying note on the finish balances the perceived sweet nicely.

1994 Hiedler Grüner Veltliner Reserve
Austria, Niederösterreich, Kamptal
nose shows the delicate side of spring water. Is there another side?? lightest wax note in the nose. mineral driven palate. overall quite a delicacy of profile. Medium acidity. After 1 hour - grape water on the nose. aged grape on the palate and a hint of almondine on the finish.
