Alsace Grand Cru Riesling on the canal in Helsinki on a perfectly breezy and pleasant Finnish summer evening, making friends with random strangers. Life doesn't get much better than this. No specific notes because I was too focused on enjoying the moment (which is honestly the best way to enjoy any wine anyway, all nerdiness aside), but it was a great, varietally and regionally representative example of solid Alsace Riesling. Screaming acid, razor sharp focus, super refreshing. So content and happy right now. πβΊοΈπ
