la Battistina Gavi 2010

Gavi, Piedmont. Cortese. 12%. Cork. Source: Gift

Who needs a number out of 100 when you can add a half smile to an egg wearing pants. . . Textured and slippery with a twist of citrus pith bitterness and a pleasing and lingering suggestion of stonefruit. I tried to recreate a sense of place by grilling some swordfish and making a simple salad of white beans, despite all this I'm sure this would taste better in some cheap and bustling ristorante overlooking the Ligurian sea. It's that sort of wine. . .

Mei,

I thought so too. I bought 3 pairs of them to give as gifts, but couldn't bear to part with my last set.
