  April 30, 2020 - April Blind Tasting with Master of Wine Lindsay Pomeroy; 4/8/2020-4/30/2020 (Temecula, CA): Tasted double blind with MW Lindsay Pomeroy. Incorrectly identified as a Torrontes, Salta.
  
  Deep lemon color; Pronounced aromatics of roses, perfume, potpourri, grapey, honeysuckle, ripe apricot and nectarines, soapy, and a sulfuric chemical that smells like "perm". Full-bodied, medium-to-low acid, high alcohol; richly textured, oily palate of ripe melon, fresh flowers, salty and lingering, spicy finish. Good to Very Good quality. Not a grape I enjoy that much.
  
  Gewurztraminer was my runner up choice. Didn't get the lychee but should have paid more attention to the oily textured, full body palate than the flavors.
  
  Markers for Gewurztraminer - Floral, perfume, ripe stone fruit, lychee, grapey, full body, lower acidity, high alcohol, oily texture.
  Markers for Alto Adige - Stainless steel, balance of aromatic complexity and structure, white spice, fresh flowers

  November 2, 2017 - Schoene stroh- bis goldgelbe Faerbung, Geruch wie typischer Gewuerztraminer. Geschmack sehr kraeftig, holzig, karamellig, stark. Beisst, kratzt im Nachgeschmack etwas am Gaumen. Wie beim 13er schoener langer Druck und Nachhall des rauh-wuerzigen Rosen-, Zimt- und Nelkengeschmacks.
