Prager Dinner with Robert Bodenstein (Chicago, IL): Probably the most muted and restrained of all the GVs that we had tonight. I liked the kaffir lime flavours here, and the palate, that had a nice touch of green that was never over the top. There's a little bit of sweetness that balances the heightened acidity and green that I really like here, but all in all I expected a slightly more complex wine.

On the nose: Grey pears, apricot. On the palate: More grey pears and a alcohol heat. I expected a more complex wine than what I got. A very one-dimensional wine. Medium + finish

Wachau Spring Wine Festival (Wachauer Weinfrühling) (The Wachau): Again, a good 'zing' on the nose, but with richer, riper fruit than the Achleiten (white peaches, pears), some dry yeast extract on the palate, but all in balance with the sweet fruit. Very intense and very long. € 35. *****+
