2006 H.O. Becker
Kerner Auslese
Rheinhessen, Germany
2006 H.O. Becker, Kerner Auslese, Rheinhessen, Germany The red bottle may throw you off a bit, this is not a rosè, but a white Kerner Auslese. The grape is a cross between the Riesling and the Trollinger, bred by August Herold in 1929 and named after the poet Justinus Kerner. Honey straw in color with essence of lychee, that beautiful scent reminiscent of Gewürztraminer, slightly sweet flavors of pear and melon with a crisp and refreshing finish. The light sweetness of the wine lends itself as a good choice for an aperitif, but I paired mine with Almond Butter cookies lightly dusted with powdered sugar and a selection of Raspberry stuffed Butter Cookies. If you plan to serve this with a salad entrée, I would suggest the Pear and Stilton Salad from Magnolia Days (one of my all time favorite salads!) | Alcohol 10.0% | 100% Kerner Auslese | under $20 with case and club discounts | synthetic cork closure |
2010 Ernst Holler
Blaufrankisch
Burgenland, Austria
2010 “Elfenhof” by Ernst Holler, Blaufränkisch, Burgenland, Austria The Blaufränkisch grape is known in the USA as Lemberger; grown in cool weather climates like Washington State and The Finger Lakes Region of New York. A very popular red wine in Austria, its DNA heritage links to Pinot Noir making for a food friendly wine. In the glass: brownish-red in color with aromas of bramble and dried thyme lead to flavors of dried fruits like strawberry with hints of tarragon. The finish is smooth. I paired this wine with Smoked Corned Beef Paninis; smoked and prepared by my husband @BeerWineFood. | Alcohol 12.5% | 100% Blaufränkisch | about $18 with case and club discounts | screw cap closure |
2010 Kotuku Winery
Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, New Zeland
2010 Kotuku Winery, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand Beautifully light in color with zesty lime rind and pear aromas and flavors. If you shy away from NZ Sauvignon Blancs for their tendency to be overly grassy, you can be guaranteed you won’t find that in this SB. The wine has a very zesty finish and its mild acidity makes it a great choice for the dinner table. I paired this with my own special dish (yes I sometimes cook!) | Alcohol 13.5% | 100% Sauvignon Blanc | under $15 with club and case discounts | screw cap closure
Sautéed Cod Filet with Asparagus, Sage & Capers in a light Sauvignon Blanc sauce 1tablespoon lemon infused olive oil ¾ lb cod filet cut in to 3 pieces 3 to 4 fresh sage leaves, chopped 1 lb asparagus – thin stalks, use only about 4” of the tips ½ cup Sauvignon Blanc 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon capers (brine rinsed off) lettuce leaves to serve on Heat the oil and sauté the fish about 4 minutes per side. Remove fish from pan cover with foil. Put the asparagus in the hot pan, drizzle with a little olive oil if necessary. Before the asparagus start to brown throw in all the wine and let the asparagus simmer for about 3 minutes then add the chopped sage capers and butter. When the butter is fully incorporated, place the fish on top of lettuce leaves, place the asparagus on top of fish and pour the sauce on top of all.All three wines were exceptional and stellar varietal examples.
