  Tasted at Ingrid's place. Peculiar, in a nice way.

  DBYOB (stockholm): xavier Auerbach had it right: bizarre. There's both a sweet and a dry/sour note on this that don't mix, has some odd nutty, stone fruit flavors, but then its headed in the wrong direction. But fun to try. The producer claims that Pedro Ximenez, the varietal mainly used in the cloyingly sweet sherries named after the grape, which I incidentally can't drink (and I can drink most things), is a mutation of riesling. This wine is his attempt at proving this theory. It's a mutation, all right, but not sure if that makes this any better.

  DBYOB (Don't Bring Your Own Bottle) (Stockholm, Sweden): Sweet honey on the nose, apricot marmelade. Raisins and white pepper. Ok length, special but not that interresting.

  Perfetta sul petto d'anatra laccato al miele passato in forno.
  Profumi e sapori da passito, con un leggero finale secco, senza essere minimamente stucchevole e una gradazione più che corretta =12,5°
  Bottiglia finita in 2 in un attimo.
  Da riprendere

  A private lunch (Restaurant Inter Scaldes **, Kruiningen, Netherlands): Bright yellow; medium dry, characteristic note of raisins, deep and intense yet light, coffee and cocoa on the palate, noticeable bitters, good length. Bizarre but very interesting.
