  November 28, 2023 - Steel, seashells, and a kiss of lemon (with some apple on day 2). This is an immensely quaffable white wine. It's a "food wine", but not in the sense that it has some unsavory characteristics that requires food, rather, this is what you drink as a palate reset between bites of pretty much anything. Sure, seafoods and lighter fare, but bring it out against some heavier dishes and watch it shine.

  August 31, 2023 - Day later from memory. First encounter with Elbling and had no expectations of any kind. Poured a very pale straw color. Not much going on with the nose, a reticent note of lifted lemon, saline, and green hay. Super sleek on the palate, absolute steely acid, it makes Chablis look fat by comparison. Served cold it's an incredible aperitif, and a glance over at the bottle confirmed it's a crushable 10.5 % ABV. The lemon flavor is more of a whisper than a shout and if you prize austerity you can't go wrong. My only regret is discovering it at the end of the summer instead of the beginning. Awesome in the late afternoon at poolside.
