From the wine list at King, NYC. Pale orange. Very hard to parse the distinct flavors, but quince and apricot from others’ notes strike me as right—but the weirdness didn’t say ‘beeswax’ to me. Very good acidity, and this made for excellent pairing with both the pan-seared clams and the roasted sea bass.

Served by the glass at King, NYC. Very correct baby barbaresco. Just lovely to be offered a glass of something nice.

Similar to prior note but really really needed more time in the decanter.
