@Severn Goodwin A great wine/food match I would think.

Giaconda

Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

Pale Lemon in colour. Smoky sulphidic notes - struck match to the max - like a burnt matchbox factory. A totally different story on the beautiful medium + bodied palate verging on opulent. A sweetish peachy palate - downright delicious. Some good judges say this is the best Chardonnay in Australia. If not, definitely in the top 3. Wonderful with fresh oysters. — 6 years ago

I agree with you, @Bob McDonald. Very hard to locate this in the US.

@Ron R Yes I imagine it would be. A small production with high demand. He actually offers this wine en primeur where you pay now and receive in 9 to 12 months time.

Alexander VS The Ham Factory Ribera del Duero Tinto Fino Blend 2015

Fresh olive and sugar free boysenberry chutney waft in this nose.

More of that sugar free fruit leather, purple sage and fig smoked over cedar staves.
Good foggy fruit play with a dark back palette, where anise and herbaceous acidity take this wine to frontal chewy tannic afterthought.
Lingering chilly bits. Poor Alexander.

Finger Lakes Dry Gewürztraminer 2017

Nose has amazing Gardenia aromas, sweet honey, freshly milled white pepper and cold wax.

Palate has over-ripe cantaloupe, honey drizzle on green melon, (light) lemon/orange zest and juiced Clementine (faint). Light on the acidity and a bit long on the finish. Decanted 60m. (92-93 points, very nice)

Spectacular pairing to fried eggs (backyard egg factory paying its dues even in the cold of winter) over toasted couscous, softened garlic & red onion, fresh green onion and the star of the dish za'atar (I could eat this on cereal!).

Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett 2015

Liquid gold from Mosel; quite pale but viscous and slightly spritzy; nose is like entering a rubber or tire factory while eating freshly cut red grape fruit and tangerines; fairly high acid on the palate with a round long mouthfilling finish of tropical fruits. — 7 years ago

Domaine Hudelot-Baillet

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2016

Nose has tart strawberry, ripe black cherry, blackberry, dried soil with peat and faint creamy oak notes.

Palate has ripe blackberry, ripe cherry, dried garden soil, thawed strawberries, light cedar influence, decent finish but we're underwhelmed overall. Maybe closing up now, revisit in 3-5Y, 2025-27.

Cork pulled, slow oxidation for 3H.

Solid pairing to toasted Israeli couscous, za'atar and lightly fried eggs from the backyard egg factory. For us, eggs are always a great pair to Bourgogne Rouge, they balance wonderfully.

(Also, for the record, no photo trickery on the food pic, our Australorp eggs are indeed that orange; Good diet equals good eggs.)

Those eggs look fabulous! I also now need to see what a thawed strawberry smells like...do mean the wine had a touch of freezer aroma?

@Ellen Clifford Previously frozen strawberries seem to have a dilute aroma. I buy fresh, then cut up and freeze for smoothies, my wife slightly microwaves them (and other fruit) before she puts them in the blender.

Heh, I have some strawberries in the freezer right now for smoothie needs! But I never have smelled them thawed...now think I may need to!
