Trimbach

Réserve Alsace Muscat 2012

These are recalled impressions, not contemporaneous notes, from two nights ago, when the family council of elders met for a steak/wine pairing event at my brother Angelo’s house.

Pregaming wine. Quite a surprise, given the varietal and its age. Fresh and fruity, very fragrant but not over the top (Muscat can be a little simple and cloying at times), quite dry. Lovely

Love Alsatian Muscat, but have never aged one this long, though of course it’s Trimbach!!

Gramona

Gessami Penedès Muscat Blend 2024

What an amazing blend! Imagine your typical Gewürztraminer made subtle by its mixture with traditional Catalan varietals. I’ve found that certain meals—carbonara, some east Asian dishes, and blended soups—need a white wine in a tall, skinny bottle that doesn’t suck. This is it. — a year ago

Post Flirtation White Marsanne blend

Super tropical fruit. Medium acidity. Little minerality and earthiness. Really close to a 9. — 5 years ago

Murrieta's Well

The Whip Livermore Valley White Blend 2017

Fascinating #livermorevalley white blend with a pronounced onion + floral nose, full bodied, citrus, peach palate with plenty of lip-smacking acidity. That nose might be a unique feature of this 2017 vintage; it might scare off some people but I imagine it would be delicious with a Chinese spring onion omelette. — 6 years ago

Burgenland White Blend

Currently having a love affair with Alsatian and Austrian wines. Beautiful golden color, smells like musky green apple, honeydew, and sunshine. Very acidic, tense, brimming with energy, honey and apple and lime. — 7 years ago

Super floral and mineral aromas and flavors, great acidity in 2021 gives this a lot of crispness and freshness, also quite dry in 2021, long, lingering finish, excellent Alsatian Muscat! — 8 months ago

SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria 2023

Nectarine in color. Vegetal, hay, barn-y on the nose - a very surprising aroma. Round mouth feel with pleasant acidity. Getting some grapefruit and citrus and meringue on the back end. Complex wine that pairs wonderfully with a light, pasta primavera. — a year ago

One of the very few benefits of a lot of snow is just to bury your bottle in it. Delicious cuvée I think there is 5 grapes involved. Some citrus, fresh flowers. Bring it on — 7 months ago
