Hard to think of a better pairing for the cuisine of Smyth than white Jura. Here, a blend of 80-20 Chardonnay and Savagnin. It’s pulsatingly energetic with racy lemony acids giving vibrancy and lift to its salty, nutty and mineral flavors. It’ll certainly gain complexity with more age but it’s drinking beautifully now out of the decanter. A tremendously food friendly wine.

Another case of a white being too flabby after a slew of Rieslings. These are typically quite electric wines, but gosh does Riesling deliver a smack down on the acid levels brought to the table (especially coming from Keller). This was lemony, a little funky, sprinkled with salt, yet looked broad and tired versus the other wines. One to revisit on another occasion.
