2006 Dr. Konstantin Frank Rkatsiteli

Served With: Ramen with Grilled Maitake Mushroom

Five Things: pale yellow, honeydew melon, green apple, honey, clove

COO: Finger Lakes, New York

Notes: A blossoming flower of a wine as it warmed, releasing a bouquet of floral and fruit notes. It reminded me a bit of a Riesling crossed with a Gewürztraminer. Paired with a silky bowl of ramen topped with grilled Maitake mushrooms, the balanced acidity came through clearly in harmony with the broth and veggies.
