  November 5, 2022 - No scholastic research and commensurate diatribe, just neutral impressions. Previous fellow contributors have expertly specified all contributing details and specifications for this wine.
  Clear, light yellow, the color of the dried straw I fed today to some goats at a local Maine farm.
  As the wine is straight from the ice box, (we’ll revisit this a little later) the nose is muted with aromas of vanilla wax, a slight whiff of Alsatian petrol, and the promise of perhaps more expression from the trilogy of varietals.
  Later: Bizarre flashback of the “aromas” reminiscent of those found in a 1960s Air Force hanger of F-86 and T-33 jets, idle, lubed, greased, polished, and cooled down after a hard days work.
  The mouthfeel is predictably light and bright (no indication of the alcohol level, perhaps 10% to 12%, per the sweetness from the Riesling), with a slightly disjointed flavor profile, with the varietals vying for prominence, reminiscent of a hungry three headed creature sharing one body and one plate of food. The wine is more of a delineated parfait rather than a harmonious blend, with the Riesling providing the sweet and tropical acidic layer, the Gruner Veltliner imparting a more stern,crisp and steely acidity along with citrus flavors and a slight salt and pepper quality just below, especially on the finish in the throat, followed by the Chardonnay contributing more of an anonymous textural component to the bottom layer of the blend.
  The overall finish is one of a mashing of citrus and grape skins, enveloped in a slightly honeyed wax presence.
  Do I like it - Yes. It is enjoyable and would, though delicate in nature, likely hold its own in any savory, sweet or herbed-spiced environment.
  Do I understand it - not without trying multiple types of cuisine pairings. I imagine the wine will adapt and morph per the respective food flavor and preparation variables.
  A well made wine looking for its identity, which in this case may be unnecessary.
  11/08/22-A Weimer Winery representative just replied back to me with the alcohol level being 11.8%.

  February 1, 2022 - Well made, friendly wine though an unusual combo of grapes and flavors. The chard adds body, the GV and Riesling, mineral notes. Reasonably high acidity though I find it hard to pair with food.

  November 21, 2021 - Hard wine to describe but pleasant to sip and OK with light bodied food. Definitely some GV notes but the body is more like chard. Hard to find the Riesling notes other than hints of mineral. A bit more acidic than I prefer but the balance is good.
