  Great fruit and balance with acidity, drank easily, no great complexity but a joy to drink, drank with baked lobster with vidalia onion stuffing, baked clams and corn on the cob, chenin blanc rocks, will drink again.

  CCT Burgundy Dinner (Coray Kitchen, Delmar, NY): [Pop and pour.] Crisp, yeasty, with some mellow apple and pear flavors. Quite tasty.

  This has a bit of an underripe green quality, but there's still a beautiful fruitiness to it... aromas of underripe quince, apple, lemon pith, white flowers and green herbs, a little something sweet and toasty, like pastry.... Fresh and crisp on the palate, easy bubbles, not a ton of them though, tactile and grippy, a little tannic. There's delicious juiciness on the finish, but complex fruit skin and pith notes lend a delicate bitterness that really define this wine's character. A bit raw at first, but it opens up nicely and gains weight and fruit. Perhaps better in a year or two? Not sure. It doesn't seem to have the balance for long aging, but it is lovely today.
