2007 Claude Michot "Les Berthiers" Pouilly-Fume. My first Sauvignon Blanc from this commune, and it was lovely. Very citrusy, with a pronounced chalky minerality that was quite delicious, especially with herb-crusted white cheese (dried Jack, I believe). Very nice wine.
2007 Red Tail New York State Dry Riesling. (Seneca Lake) My very first New York State wine! Richer than at the wine shop tasting, this had a lot of flavor. My uneducated palate probably does not understand the nuances of Riesling very well, but I thought this wine had rich fruit, bone dry with good acidity, and already the beginnings of petrol??? flavors. Very nice...and $16!
We also had a delicious 2006 Fleurie whose name I did not write down and was omitted from my spreadsheet. Bright red cranberry fruit...delicious. A friend complained about the universal "funkyness" of the French wines I bring, and my response was that is why I love them so much!
