    Harissa salmon with potatoes and onions, roasted broccoli
    2007 JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese
    Some Prum pseudo-reduction matchstick when opening, cinnamon spiced peaches, balanced acids, really in a nice place. B+/A-
    2004 Karthauserhof Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Spatlese
    In an even nicer place. Snappy acids, citrus blossoms and spice, clean apple and nectarine fruit, excellent length A-
    Pork/fish sauce meatballs, sesame/brownbutter/miso noodles, shiitakes with bok choy
    2009 G. Descombes Morgon
    Rich but with balancing acids, red plum and cherry, coffee, and a hint of smoke. ThererCOs a little animal note that I kept glimpsing, unsure if a touch of (pleasant) brett or just my imagination. B+/B
    Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
